Research
I am historian of Britain and Germany in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a particular focus on Anglo-German cultural encounters before and after the First World War and the history of the Weimar Republic. My work has appeared in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals and in monographs published by leading academic publishers. I am currently working on three projects dealing with the ways in which the British press reported Wilhelmine political scandals, the representation of the Weimar Republic in contemporary Anglophone media, and the reception of the Finnish epic the Kalevala in Britain.
