His monograph on Virginia Woolf, focusing on her experimentation with character and characterization, was published in 2014. He co-edited Adaptation, Awards Culture, and the Value of Prestige (Palgrave) in 2017, a volume that examines the relationship between adaptative practices and cultural prestige through the lens of prize culture, and edited 100 Greatest Literary Detectives (Rowman & Littlefield) in 2018. He is the Assistant Editor of Edinburgh UP’s journal Crime Fiction Studies, and his work has also appeared in numerous edited collections, and in journals including Ariel, The Cambridge Quarterly, Critique, Neohelicon, Partial Answers and the Journal of Modern Literature.
