Research
Amy鈥檚 research explores representations of the demonic and Gothic nature in German literature and culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her thesis interrogates the relationship between the human and the nonhuman, and explores the ways in which we might re-evaluate perceptions of the role of the natural world during this time of rapid change 鈥� whilst challenging our own relationship with nature in the twenty-first century 鈥� by paying closer attention to the darker, more unsettling aspects of nature. Her research focuses in particular on representations of the Arctic, subterranean spaces, haunted coasts and monstrous botany.听听听听听听听听
