I am especially interested in aesthetic autonomy, literary responses to major historical events, and the politics of historiography. My dissertation, \u201cModernity against Itself,\u201d is predominantly informed by the theoretical intersection of Marxism and psychoanalysis. Focusing mainly on Wyndham Lewis, Virginia Woolf, Hope Mirrlees, T. S.
