Research Interests

His research interests include nineteenth and twentieth century Anglo-Irish literature and cultural studies.  He has a particular interest in the influence Irish émigré writers had on the Irish Literary Revival – such as Wilde, Shaw, Joyce and Beckett and how their experiences of exile helped influence their own formation of a national and cultural identity within Ireland, the wider Irish Diaspora and the international literary world.  Additional areas of teaching and/or research interest include the authors and writings of Greek Tragedy, the 1890’s fin-de sieclé era, Gothic literature and cinema, Victorian periodicals, Modernism, Postcolonial literature, Dystopian Literature and Film.
