Speaker's Bio: He is primarily a literary critic, specialising in the 19th and 20th centuries, and especially in turn-of-the-century and Modernist fiction, criticism, and poetry. The three main strands of his current and projected research, which frequently intertwine, are: the development of Modernist writing; in particular the literary networks associated with Ford Madox Ford, and the relation between Modernism and the First World War; life-Writing, with a particular emphasis on the relation between auto/biography and fiction from 1870-1930; literary Impressionism and its relation to Modernism.
