Hi all! My name is Emily Dollery and I have started this scholarly blog as part of my MA English – Modernities programme at UCC. My main research interests would be Gothic, Modernist & Naturalist literature. During my undergraduate degree, I studied modules such as “Women and Literature”, “Reading Ulysses” and “Modern and Contemporary American Literature” and I look forward to expanding my knowledge over the next few months!
I did my undergraduate degree in Music & English so I do already possess some rudimentary knowledge of audio production and editing, so I would definitely be interested in incorporating different forms of media and communication across this blog. I am quite passionate about the arts and cultural events and I host a radio programme on UCC 98.3 FM where I focus on local Irish artists and talk about events in the local area.
My most recently read book is Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh, a historical fiction novel.
