About the author
Johanna Harrison-Oram (Royal Holloway University of London)
Johanna is a PhD student at Royal Holloway, University of London (previously King's College London, the University of Oxford and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama) and has research interests in the Victorial novel, the fin de siècle, music and performance, fuel and extraction discourses, and gender, particularly female labour and its expressions in nineteenth-century fiction. Her research positions women's labour as a speculative activity, and explores literary representations of these 'speculative' labours - such as maternity, breastfeeding, public speaking/performance, and commercial labour - in fin-de-siècle realist fiction.
