Lara Feigel

I am Professor of Modern Literature and Culture at King’s College London.

I am the author of four works of cultural history in which I explore the relationship between works of literature, the times they’re written in, the impact of history on the books and the lives of the creators of the books, and how both the life shapes the work and the work shapes the life.
