Dr Madeleine Rose recently completed her DPhil in English with a project focusing on ecological entanglement in American and British modernist poetry. Focusing primarily on the poetry of H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), Marianne Moore, and Charlotte Mew, her thesis challenged positive framing of ecological entanglement by examining interconnection as a source of formal difficulty and existential threat in the work of these poets. More broadly, she is interested in ecocriticism, modernism, periodical studies, and the history of ecology in the USA and Britain. She has published on American poetry and the wilderness, the creepy affects of bodily spillages, and is currently developing a new project on the formal challenges engendered by tree felling and other forms of arboreal destruction in twentieth century literature.
