Danielle Richards is a doctoral candidate at Loyola University Chicago. Her dissertation, “Vital Environs: Modernist Ecologies and the Nature Tradition”, investigates late 19th and early 20th-century conceptions about Nature and the ways writers like Richard Jefferies, D.H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, and Virginia Woolf revolutionized our understanding of rural and urban spaces, coastal vistas, and the Lakes District. Danielle is particularly interested in ecology, ecocriticism, digital humanities, and British Modernism.
