Thesis Title:
'I must Create a System, or be enslav’d by another Mans’: System in the work of William Blake
Supervisor:
Professor Jon Mee
Description:
My doctoral research explores the role of systemic processes in the poetry and material format of William Blake’s illuminated books, aiming to bring a modern systems theory-informed perspective to a long-debated topic in Blake Studies.
I began my AHRC-funded PhD at York in 2021, having graduated first in my MA cohort at Durham University. At York, I have taught on first- and second-year undergraduate modules on world literature from the eighteenth century to the present.
