I write about British literature and culture from about 1660-1830; my specific interests are in footwear, embroidery, and fashionable accessories in works by Jane Austen, Frances Burney, and Samuel Richardson (and many more). I am currently working on a book about women’s footwear in eighteenth-century British literature from John Gay to Jane Austen (tentatively titled, The Movable Shoe).

You can find my CV, contact information, and a blog about my research interests on this site. I have also linked to other blog posts I have written and (for fun) to my Etsy shop, Lonsway Needle Arts.

Thanks for visiting!
