Autorenporträt

Lise Jaillant is Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the School of Social Sciences and Humanities at Loughborough University, UK. She specialises in twentieth-century literary institutions, with a special interest in publishers and creative writing programmes. Her first monograph was Modernism, Middlebrow and the Literary Canon: the Modern Library Series, 1917-1955 (Routledge, 2014). She then wrote Cheap Modernism: Expanding Markets, Publishers' Series and the Avant-Garde (EUP, 2017) and she edited Publishing Modernist Fiction and Poetry (EUP, 2019). Taken together, these three books offer a broad overview of Anglo-American publishers in the early-twentieth-century, and their influence on the diffusion of modern literature.
