Biography
Claire Battershill is a fiction writer and scholar, whose books include a short story collection Circus (McClelland & Stewart 2014) and a scholarly monograph Modernist Lives: Biography and Autobiography at Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press (Bloomsbury 2017). She holds a Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship in English literature at Simon Fraser University. Her current research uncovers how literary publishers interact within the broader landscape of reading, publishing, and purchasing books, and how these interactions affect the content and quality of what consumers choose to read. Battershill questions traditionally authoritative publication venues while focusing on creating free, shared, community-driven, and collegial humanities research for the public.
