Biography

Kate McLoughlin is a Tutorial Fellow at Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford, where she specializes in post-1900 literature with particular expertise in war writing and silence. She is currently engaged in writing a literary history of silence, aided by a Major Research Fellowship from the Leverhulme Trust. Her significant contributions to the field include her recent monograph, "Veteran Poetics: British Literature in the Age of Mass Warfare, 1790-2015" (2018), which examines the literary representations of war veterans in the context of modern industrialized warfare. McLoughlin's publications also include editing anthologies such as "World War: Literature, Culture, Modernity" (2018) and "Writing War, Writing Lives" (2017), and she has written extensively on various modern and contemporary writers.
