Autorenporträt
Anne-Marie Beller is Senior Lecturer in Victorian Literature at Loughborough University. She has research interests in 19th century literature, particularly the novel and short fiction. Anne-Marie has specific interests in the sensation novel, Neo-Victorianism, and New Woman writing of the fin de siècle. She has published on Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Wilkie Collins, Amelia B. Edwards, Ellen Wood, and New Woman writers such as Sarah Grand, Ella D'Arcy, and Mona Caird. Anne-Marie is the author of Mary Elizabeth Braddon: A Companion to the Mystery Fiction (McFarland, 2012), Mary Elizabeth Braddon: Writing in the Margins (Routledge, forthcoming), and co-editor of Rediscovering Victorian Women Sensation Writers (Routledge, 2014). Current research activities include a multi-disciplinary project (with Kerry Featherstone and Claire O'Callaghan) on the Somerset Pauper Lunatic Asylum. Kerry Featherstone was formerly Lecteur de Langues at the Université de Belfort-Montbéliard and is now a Lecturer in Creative Writing at Loughborough University. Kerry is currently working on a project involving the 'recovery' of a nineteenth century asylum, the story of its superintendents and patients (with Anne-Marie Beller and Claire O'Callaghan). Recent publications include an essay on Mark Goodwin's experimental writing about British landscapes and an article on paratexts and motivations for travel in contemporary travel writing on Afghanistan. Featherstone is a poet and his creative practice involves writing about landscape. He was the first Poet in Residence at Bradgate Park, Leicestershire, for 2017-18. Kerry writes poems in English and French, playing with the possibilities of translation and mistranslation: he has been published in Modern Poetry in Translation, and The French Literary Revue, amongst others.
