- Profile
- As a Senior Lecturer in Scandinavian and Comparative Literature at UCL, I am particularly interested in how books from smaller nations and the wider world reach readers in the English-speaking countries. I have written books and articles about the international publishing success of Scandinavian crime fiction and more widely about transnational publishing, translation and adaptation. I took part in the AHRC-funded research project Translating the Literatures of Small European Nations based on which we published a report and an anthology on the state of small-nation literatures in UK publishing. I also teach an advanced course at UCL on “Publishing and Comparative Literature”, and have advised publishers about Scandinavian literature.
