Christopher Yiannitsaros researches and teaches in the Department
of English and Comparative Literary Studies at the University of
Warwick. His doctoral research examines the Gothicisation of the
domestic home, country village and archaeological site in the
fiction of Agatha Christie. More broadly, he has research interests
in Gothic literature (including film and television) from
mid-nineteenth century through to the present day, constructions of
English national identity in and by 'middlebrow' and genre fiction
from the 1880s to the 1950s, the importance of front cover design
and how this influences/changes the 'meaning' of the text, and the
interrelations between narrative and ethics in contemporary British
and American fiction. He has also published articles in ‘The Irish
Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies’ and ‘Women: A Cultural
Review’.
