Howard Finn

Dr Howard Finn is a Teaching Fellow at Queen Mary University of London's School of English and Drama, specializing in modernist literature, critical theory, and international cinema. He previously taught film at Essex University for five years before returning to Queen Mary, where he has focused on modern literature and critical theory since 2013. His research emphasizes Dorothy Richardson's modernist works, including editing a new edition of her 1927 novel Oberland through the AHRC-funded Richardson Scholarly Editions Project. He has published widely on modernist authors, film theory, and cross-cultural cinema, including a 2023 monograph Cinematic Modernism and Contemporary Film and an interview with novelist Eva Tucker in Pilgrimages. Finn teaches courses such as ESH314 (James Joyce's Ulysses), ESH319 (Michel Foucault), and ESH344 (British Culture in the 1950s), blending literary analysis with interdisciplinary approaches.

His research spans post-war British novels, feminist critiques of modernism, and global cinema studies. Notable projects include collaborations on Iranian film theory and re-evaluations of modernist women writers' contributions to literary history. Finn’s work bridges textual analysis with historical context, emphasizing how modernist techniques intersect with cultural and political movements.
