Dr Sasha Garwood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An interdisciplinary scholar with an English Literature background and social history expertise, Sasha researches gender, sex and the body as a nexus of cultural anxieties, from the early modern period to the present day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her first book, Early Modern English Noblewomen and Self-Starvation<\/a>, examined female food refusal during the early modern period, its literary representations, and its precise differentiation from the modern phenomenon of eating disorders, the first interdisciplinary study of its kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, her ongoing research interests include gendered embodiment and food behaviour; the history of emotions; gender, embodiment, and sexuality in Edwardian fiction; the Earl of Rochester; E.F. Benson; and hidden queer lives in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, she is focused on queer masculinities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and writing a book about E.F. Benson and George Wolfe Plank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She studied at University College London and Keble College Oxford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sasha is represented by Sarah Stamp<\/a> at the Soho Agency<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
