Suzanne Hobson is a Lecturer in 20th Century Literature. She teaches and writes mainly in the areas of literary modernism and theory and is especially interested in questions of faith and belief in the early twentieth century. Her first book, Angels of Modernism: Literature, Culture, Aesthetics 1910-1960 (Palgrave, 2011), explores a variety of literary angels rendered strange or untimely by their appearance in self-consciously modern contexts. She has published articles and book chapters on D.H. Lawrence, Mina Loy and H.D. and is the co-editor of The Salt Companion to Mina Loy (Salt, 2010). Her current research interests include travel and tourism in modernist writing and agonistic faith in early twentieth century fiction. She convenes and teaches a range of courses on the English BA and MA at Queen Mary including options on D.H. Lawrence: Controversy and Legacy and World Travellers: The 1930s and Beyond.
Suzanne Hobson is co-convenor of the Modernism Seminar in London, a member of the Modernist Studies Association and a member of the British Association of Modernist Studies.
