Anna Girling

Dr. Anna Girling serves as a Research Fellow at the Institute of English Studies within the School of Advanced Study, University of London, and holds an Eccles Centre Fellowship at the British Library. Her current research investigates Edith Wharton's Cold War publishing history and broader patterns in the postwar dissemination of 'classic' American literature.

Her academic credentials include:

• PhD in English Literature from the University of Edinburgh (2022), focusing on 'Edith Wharton and Queer History at the Fin de Siècle'

Dr. Girling's scholarly work bridges American literary studies, queer historiography, and transnational print culture analysis. She examines how intellectual networks operated during the fin-de-siècle and interwar periods, with particular attention to gender, sexuality, and geopolitical contexts in publishing history. Her current projects extend this framework to Cold War-era literary reception.

Her recognized achievement includes:

• Eccles Centre Fellowship at the British Library for research on Nancy Cunard's journalism

While specific details about student supervision remain undisclosed, her Eccles Centre Fellowship demonstrates active research funding supporting her investigation of internationalist print networks. Dr. Girling contributes to understanding how political climates shape literary canons through institutional publishing practices.
