Publications
My book is now available. Apples and Orchards Since the Eighteenth Century: Material Innovation and Cultural Tradition can be ordered from Bloomsbury. Please do try to persuade your local library to buy a copy! It is expensive, but putting it in libraries means many more readers can enjoy it.

My Ph.D. thesis on ‘The Social and Cultural History of the Apple and the Orchard in Victorian England’ can be enjoyed in full via Essex University’s research repository. If you’d like to quote extensively from it, please ask me first.

I also have a chapter on ‘the Gothic Orchard of the Victorian Imagination’ in Ecogothic Gardens in the Long Nineteenth Century: Phantoms, Fantasy and Uncanny Flowers, edited by Sue Edney (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2021)

I had a lovely chat about all things apple-related with Neil Buttery, on his food history podcast. The link will take you to it on Spotify, you can find it wherever you get your podcasts. I have also done an interview with Miranda Melcher for the New Books Network podcasts.
