Her research seeks to link the late-Victorian intellectual and artistic movements of Aestheticism and Decadence to Modernist writing in English. Her publications include Aristocratic Drag: The Dandy in Irish and American Southern Fiction (Edinburgh, 2007), and articles in Modern Fiction Studies, Eire-Ireland, BRANCH: Britain, Representation and Nineteenth-Century History, and Neo-Victorian Studies. Her current book project, Oscar Wilde's Body, reconstructs forgotten subcultures of mourning, fandom, and queer self-fashioning to re-imagine Oscar Wilde's presence in the literary and cultural landscapes of early modernism.
