Charlotte Jones

Charlotte Jones is a Stipendiary Lecturer in English at St Hugh's College, University of Oxford, affiliated with the Faculty of English Language & Literature. Her research focuses on 19th and 20th century literature, anarchism, and the philosophy of realism. She explores how literary forms engage with metaphysical questions and sociopolitical structures.

Her first monograph, Realism, Form and Representation (OUP, 2021), examines how realist novels negotiate the 'unrepresentable' through early 20th-century works by Conrad, Sinclair, Wells, and Ford Madox Ford. Her current project, Anarchist Aesthetics: Radical Politics and the Modern Novel, traces anarchist intellectual traditions' influence on narrative forms and collective belonging.

Publications include a 2015 chapter on Ford Madox Ford and Rebecca West's portrayal of shell shock. She teaches Victorian and Modern literature, with a focus on form, genre, and sociopolitical contexts.
