Dewi Llyr Evans

I read English Literature at Brasenose College, Oxford, before completing an MA and then a PhD at Cardiff University. My doctoral thesis was entitled ‘Ideas of the Book and Reading in Literature, 1880-1914’ and focused on the role of books and reading in the writings of Oscar Wilde, Robert Louis Stevenson, M.R. James and E.M. Forster. Current research interests are the history of the book, the gothic and, in particular, intersections between literature and archaeology at the turn of the twentieth century. I am particularly interested in Victorian and Edwardian supernatural fiction.
