Biography

  

Hazel Hutchison (MA, PhD) is a graduate of Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Since 2001, she has lectured on the English programme in the School of Language and Literature, where she is now a senior lecturer. Her research focuses on the fiction and poetry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She is currently writing a book for Yale University Press about American writer-observers during the First World War: The War That Used Up Words: American Writers in a European Conflict 1914-1918. She is also compiling a scholarly edition of The Turn of the Screw and Other Tales, volume 26 of The Complete Fiction of Henry James for Cambridge University Press. Her interests include publishing history, material cultures, and interactions between science and literature in the Victorian and Modernist periods.  

She is the author of Brief Lives: Henry James (London: Hesperus Press, 2012); Seeing and Believing: Henry James and the Spiritual World (New York: Palgrave, 2006) and Teach Yourself Writing Essays and Dissertations (London: Hodder, 2007). She has published articles on James, Rupert Brooke, D. G. Rossetti and Mary Borden. She has also edited Mary Borden's World War I memoir The Forbidden Zone (London: Hesperus, 2008) and a collection of poems about Aberdeen from the twelfth century to the present with Alan Spence: Silver: An Aberdeen Anthology (Edinburgh: Polygon, 2009). She is the director of the Centre for the Novel, and is the vice-president of the Henry James Society. She is also a member of the British Association of Victorian Studies and the British Association for American Studies. Projects in development include a book on Henry James and technologies of writing, and a study of reading and publishing practices 1870-1918.

Dr Hutchison welcomes inquiries from research students intending to work on Henry James, World War I writing, British and American book history, religious and scientific issues in late Victorian and early Modernist literature, and other related fields.
