Summary
Dr Anna Fitzer's research incorporates interests in eighteenth and nineteenth-century literature and culture. She has worked on representations of sentiment, sensibility, and female libertinism in eighteenth-century fiction and drama, and published extensively on women's writing, early Romantic literary biography and memoir. She is interested in literary relations, with a particular focus on the Sheridans and their circles. She is the editor of Frances Sheridan’s Eugenia and Adelaide (1791), and of Strathallan (1816), the debut novel of Sheridan’s granddaughter, Alicia LeFanu.
Her research has received funding from the British Academy.
An inter-disciplinary approach to stories of place, and of coastal communities in particular, past and present, is informed by an interest in literature of the sea.
