Sarah Bartels, The Devil and the Victorians: Supernatural Evil in Nineteenth-Century English Culture

Hayley Smith is a PhD candidate at Canterbury Christ Church University. Her research seeks to recover and re-examine the life and literary career of a neglected late-Victorian author, called Thomas Anstey Guthrie (1856-1934), who wrote under the pseudonym ‘F. Anstey’. Her research interests include Victorian popular fiction, nineteenth-century fantasy and children’s literature, Gothic fiction, and contemporary horror.
