Chloe

I am a writer and literary historian, and have published widely, mainly on topics related to eighteenth-century literature and visual culture, and to travel writing in general. My books are listed below; I have also published numerous articles in academic journals and collections of essays, as well as book and exhibition reviews (from 1985 to 1995 I was a regular contributor to the Financial Times), and I review from time to time for the Times Literary Supplement.
My languages are: good French and Italian, competent working knowledge of German.

Availability: Available immediately. I prefer to teach in the afternoons and evenings, in order to keep the mornings free for research and writing.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: Most of my teaching has been in higher education (see the sections below on `Lectureships` and `Part-time teaching`), but in 2001 I tutored a friend`s son for his English `A` Level. (He received grade A.) From 1978 to 1979 I lived in Paris, and taught English as a foreign language. I also taught `O` Level and `A` Level students in English literature at a tutorial college in 1985, while finishing my PhD.

When I taught an M.A. course at the University of Sussex in 1996-7, I was awarded 4 out of a possible 4 points in a Teaching Quality Assessment exercise there.

Some of the fellowships that I had involved teaching, and most of them involved lectures, to students and/or to the public.
