Joan Passey

I am a Lecturer in English at the University of Bristol and a BBC/AHRC New Generation Thinker. My research interests include the cultural and literary histories of seas and coasts, nineteenth-century literature, the Gothic from the eighteenth century to the present and the works of Ann Radcliffe, Wilkie Collins, and Shirley Jackson.

I am one of the co-leaders of the Haunted Shores Network, have edited anthologies for the British Library, and make radio with the BBC.
