This page exists to archive publications and news related to my ongoing book project, A Room of One’s Own: Writers’ Homes and Readers’ Lives. I regularly post accounts of my visits to writers’ homes through my newsletter The Textual Materialist, and on Global Literary Theory, my publication at Medium. Follow me there if you’d like to get regular updates!
Note: If you do sign up to receive updates on this project specifically, please let me know. If there is interest, I can create a list exclusively for that purpose. If I am not told, I will have no way of knowing that you specifically want updates on my Writers’ Homes project.
Below is an archive of what I have published so far in connection with this project.
A few of the writers whose homes I have written about:
- Thomas Hardy’s home in Dorset (original publication here)
- Samuel Taylor Colerdige’s home in the Quantock Hills (original publication here)
- A historical and travel narrative of a trip to Tbilisi in 2023 (original publication here)
These stories are gathered together at this list.

2024: I was awarded a British Academy/Leverhulme Small Grant for research related to this book
