Biography

B.A., M.A. D.Phil., Oxford; M.A., London

Professor Flint is author of The Victorians and The Visual Imagination (Cambridge University Press, 2000), The Woman Reader, 1837-1914 (Oxford University Press, 1993); Dickens (Harvester, 1985). The Transatlantic Indian 1776-1930 will appear with Princeton University Press early in 2008: this study of the interactions between the British and Native Americans during the long C19th is a project that brings
together her interests in the relationship of popular and high culture, literary and visual representation, issues of nationalism and identity, gender politics, and post-colonial and anthropological theory. She is
General Editor of the Victorian volume of the New Cambridge History of English Literature, and has
co-edited Culture, Landscape and the Environment (Oxford University Press, 2000), and edited Victorian Love Stories (Oxford University Press, 1996) as well as a number of works by Dickens, Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence and Anthony Trollope for Penguin Classics and OUP World's Classics. Additionally, she has published articles on Victorian, modernist and contemporary fiction, and on women's writing and feminist theory, painting, and cultural history. During the academic year 2007-8 she holds a Fellowship at the National Humanities Center in North Carolina, where she will be working on a new book on "Writing and Photography," asking what distinguishes writing about photography -- whether in the 1840s or
today -- from writing about other visual media.
