Hi there,
My name is Emily and I am currently studying an MA in English – Modernities at University College Cork. I previously graduated from UCC with a BA in Music and English in 2022.
My main areas of interest in my research include the Gothic, Modernism (specifically James Joyce!), Naturalism and the Medical Humanities. As an undergraduate student, I found myself gravitating towards texts with darker themes, and this is definitely reflected in what I have been posting here.
I am hugely, hugely passionate about music. This blog’s title, Where the Sun Hits, is taken from Slowdive’s “When the Sun Hits”. I thought it would invoke an image of darkness meeting light, of light being shined on the unknown, rendering it suitable for a blog that tends to focus on moodier, darker literature, films and music.
