Research
Hugh鈥檚 areas of specialisation include the writings of Henry James and D.H. Lawrence, sexuality, and the history of homosexual identities. He has published a monograph on James and sexuality, and several articles on Lawrence; he has also co-edited a collection of essays on modernism and sexuality. He is interested in late twentieth-century American culture, and has published on the poet Robert Lowell and the construction artist Joseph Cornell. He is working on a book on D.H. Lawrence and planning a series of articles on queer culture from the late nineteenth century to the present; this will consider the development of homosexual identities in Berlin, New York, and London. He has recently edited The Cambridge Companion to Gay and Lesbian Literature (2010).
