Excited to have begun a new role for this year leading the courses in material texts for the Oxford Master’s strands in modern literature. Very much looking forward to this role spanning 1830-present, and incorporating new resources and methods both material and digital. @engfac.bsky.social

Excellent to attend and speak at the British Association of Victorian Studies 25th Anniversary Conference, and to hear its inspiring roundtable from presidents past and future. Isobel Armstrong on the future of the discipline: ‘Be dauntless’. #BAVS2025 @bavs-uk.bsky.social @engfac.bsky.social

Delighted to publish 'Reading Behind the Lines', among the first sustained applications of multispectral processing to modern anglophone literature. We recover lost text in Tennyson's manuscripts and theorise its critical implications: doi.org/10.1093/res/... @engfac.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk

Excited to have launched our project website for ‘Recovery of Literary of Manuscripts’ at Oxford yesterday. 'Recovery of Literary Manuscripts' is an interdisciplinary project applying multispectral imaging to the study of modern anglophone literature. recovery-of-literary-manuscripts.net
