Dr Oliver Herford

University of Birmingham

Oliver is Associate Professor in Nineteenth Century Literature in the Department of English Literature at the University of Birmingham. He works on British and American literature of the long nineteenth century, with a special focus on the late writings of Henry James. Oliver is interested in the place of style in literary non-fiction, the practice of editing, and the relations between personal correspondence and other types of life-writing (autobiography, biography, and memoir). I teach widely across eighteenth-, nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature.
