Since my appointment to the English Department at Southampton in 2005, I have been closely associated with Chawton House Library in Chawton, near Alton. Chawton House is a centre for the study of the early women's writing, and I was seconded as Executive Director from 2014-January 2019.

My current book project links my long-standing research interests, and examines British women writers and translation in the 1750-1830 period. My work on this project has been funded by the Bosack Kruger Foundation. From May 2019 to May 2020, I was funded by the Leverhulme Trust, via their fellowship programme.
