Profile
Biography
Victoria Coulson came to York from a Research Fellowship at Selwyn College, Cambridge.
She is President of the international Henry James Society (2021-22).
Her interests lie in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American and British literature, in particular narrative representation, and in the material culture of the period. Her first book Henry James, Women and Realism (Cambridge 2007) explores the relations between realist representation and feminine subjectivity in the lives and work of Henry and Alice James, Constance Fenimore Woolson, and Edith Wharton. Her new book Elizabeth Bowen’s Psychoanalytic Fiction (Edinburgh 2020) highlights the force and originality of Bowen’s thinking about development, sexuality and gender.
She is currently working on trans subjectivities in Henry James’s fiction.
