Representations of the United States, and the circulation of its popular culture, in late-Victorian and Edwardian Britain

The project builds upon my AHRC-funded doctoral thesis, which examined the crucial role played by popular journalism in mediating Anglo-American relations in this period. I am currently writing a monograph which expands this analysis beyond the press and examines transatlantic cultural encounters across a range of different contexts, including Wild West Shows, department stores, boxing rings, cocktail bars, cheap literature, and music hall.
