After completing a PhD at the University of Manchester in 2008, Geraldine worked as a lecturer in Spanish at the University of Strathclyde. Geraldine's research focuses on literary modernity in nineteenth-century Spanish literature, specifically the short, and often experimental, narratives of Leopoldo Alas and Antonio Ros de Olano, early examples of Spanish science fiction and the representation of the future in nineteenth-century Spanish literature.

Geraldine is also involved in the Nineteenth-Century Hispanist's Network. The Second International Symposium of Nineteenth-Century Hispanists will take place at the University of Cádiz in Spain on 18-19 May 2012. For further details and programme, please click on the link.
