In this episode I'm joined by Michelle Ravenscroft, who has recently co-edited the third volume of the popular Talking Bodies series. We chat about our shared experience at Talking Bodies and how Michelle's MA thesis on identity formation in adolescents in the long 19th century literature was turned into a chapter. We also discuss her foundational stages of the PhD project she is working on, on the importance of the Portico Library in Manchester, through readings of The Manchester Man. We also share our love of interdisciplinarity as we debate why the nineteenth century continues to influence and fascinate society today.

About my guest: Michelle Ravenscroft is an educational consultant and a second year part-time PhD candidate at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her research proposes to interrogate the importance of the Portico Library, Manchester, and the significance of Northern identity and place in the nineteenth-century text The Manchester Man. In her spare-time she enjoys editing book collections, and recently finished co-editing Talking Bodies III for University of Chester Press.
