Sarah Dredge is a Senior Lecturer in Nineteenth-Century Literature at the Department of Humanities, Sheffield Hallam University. She is affiliated with the College of Social Sciences and Arts and the Humanities Research Centre. Her work focuses on Victorian literature, feminist critiques of domestic spaces, and intersections between political economy and gender in 19th-century writing.
Educated with a BA and PhD, Dredge’s research interrogates how women writers engaged with class, economics, and social reform. Notable works include a monograph Accommodating Feminism: Victorian Women's Fiction and the Nineteenth-Century Women's Movement and contributions to the Clarendon edition of Dickens’ Our Mutual Friend.
Her scholarship spans Jane Austen’s narrative perspectives, Elizabeth Gaskell’s social critiques, and postcolonial figures like Mary Seacole. Recent articles analyze servant agency in Austen novels and economic themes in women’s writing. Dredge’s work bridges literary analysis with historical context, emphasizing marginalized voices within domestic and public spheres.
