Research

Jessica’s scholarship on the British nineteenth century currently centres on a bibliography of Victorian fiction originally serialised in shilling parts. This is a print and digital archival research project aimed at better documenting Victorian publication practices through focused attention on a minor, though prominent, print mode. Part publication was popularised and dominated by Charles Dickens, whose work has an abiding interest for Jessica, as do the novels of George Meredith, who figured in her dissertation.

Jessica has written on Victorian print and print history more broadly, although her dissertation treated the reception of wit as a comic or figural device between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. In addition to being a member of the Bibliographical Society of America (BSA) and the Research Society for Victorian Periodicals (RSVP), Jessica serves as a Contributing Editor of At the Circulating Library: A Database of Victorian Fiction, 1837–1901 (ATCL).
