I studied English at Newnham and later took an MA in Social Policy at LSE and a DPhil in poetry at the University of Sussex.

I am a writer and curator specialising in Victorian art, particularly the Pre-Raphaelites and William Morris. My books include a biography of Christina Rossetti and several about women in literary and artistic movements. My exhibitions include the Pre-Raphaelite Sisters (2019-20). 

I am happy to advise students interested in working in national museums or exhibitions.
