Doriana LicusatiConfessional writing from Sylvia Plath to St. AugustineEmail: d.licusati@qmul.ac.ukProfileTeachingSupervisionProfileI received my MA in Philosophy from La Sapienza University, Rome. My doctoral research focuses on the literary genre of confession, questioning Sylvia Plath’s poetry and its cold-war context through Augustine’s Confessions. I also examine the development of other confessional forms (spiritual, religious, judiciary, psychotherapeutic) to give account of some mid-century modernist reconfigurations of the relation between the confessional self, writing and God. My work is funded by a Queen Mary Postgraduate Research Studentship.Teaching ESH102 Reading, Theory, and Interpretation ESH124 Poetry ResearchSupervision Professor Peter Howarth and Dr. Molly Macdonald.
