Research Interests
Dr. Gibson works at the intersection of nineteenth-century British literature, British and American modernism, women’s and gender studies, and colonial and post-colonial studies. Her previous book, Ezra Pound and the Victorians, investigated ideas of history, epic and poetics. She is completing two books at the moment: a study of English language poetry in India between 1780 and 1913 and an anthology to accompany the monograph. Both volumes will be published next year by Ohio University Press.
