Currently racking my brain for something witty to start this introduction and failing miserably. The truth is writing under strict time restraints is not my forte, but it is my hope that this blog will shake things up from my usual academic essay writing as part of the English Studies masters and help me evolve into a more varied writer, here’s hoping.
My literary journey began at a very young age, writing stories about princesses and ponies. This cringeworthy start to my oeuvre is thankfully contained to a box of old belongings stashed away in my parents attic to be forgotten until such a time as they feel fit to embarrass me at family gatherings.
Thankfully my writing has evolved since then, and my preferred topics now cover contemporary British literature, culture and visual art. My research often explores the function of literature as a means of social or cultural activism. My hope is that these research interests will blend with topical content to create an interesting addition to this blog!
