I write about Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, L.M. Montgomery, and other writers I admire, and I’ve hosted a few online celebrations here in honour of the 200th anniversaries of Jane Austen’s novels. After completing my PhD in 19th century English literature at Dalhousie University, I held a postdoctoral fellowship at the Rothermere American Institute, University of Oxford, and then I taught for a few years in the Writing Program at Harvard University. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and I’m currently working on a novel.
