Brief summary of research interests<\/strong>: My research started out with a focus on national identity (Englishness) and its cultural creation. I have published a monograph on The Image of the English Gentleman in 20th Century Literature<\/em>, as well as a number of edited and co-edited collections focusing on Englishess. Most recently, this research has led me into looking into the new sub-genre of BrexLit. In addition to a number of articles and chapters I have edited a collection entitled Brexit and the Migrant Voice<\/em> (2022). In recent years, however, the main emphasis of my research has shifted to Holocaust Literatures, Trauma Theory and cultural commemorations of the Holocaust with a particular emphasis on perpetrator writing. I am currently working on a monograph entitled Nazi Noir<\/em> which examines the boom in contemporary crime writing across Europe that looks at the crimes of the Nazis through the lens of crime and detective writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
