Areas of expertise

Research field: literature

  • 19th-century Finnish literature: Minna Canth, Samuel Gustaf Bergh, Zacharias Topelius, Aleksis Kivi
  • naturalism
  • manuscript studies and genetic criticism

My ongoing doctoral research examines naturalism in the unfinished play and prose manuscripts of Minna Canth.

In addition, I edit and conduct research in the project The Collected Works of Samuel Gustaf Bergh, which brings together all known as well as previously unidentified writings of the poet. My prior experience at the Finnish Literature Society includes scholarly editing as researcher and research assistant in the Edith unit, which has involved work on the critical editions of the works of Minna Canth, Aleksis Kivi and Zacharias Topelius.
