Peter Lindfield Biography

Dr Peter Lindfield is Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellow in English at Manchester Metropolitan University. I have collaborated with Profs Dale Townshend (MMU), Fiona Robertson (Durham), and Matthew Reeve (Queen's, Canada) on a variety of projects including co-authored essays, exhibitions, collections of edited essays, and books. Outputs from these collaborations explore: ruins in eighteenth-century Britain; Gothic Revival architecture; Strawberry Hill; Lee Priory; Fonthill Abbey and Vathek; Gothic sculpture; heraldry. Future collaborations include work on the Painted Chamber at the Palace of Westminster, and Strawberry Hill as a paper house. A collaborative project looking at fakes, forgeries, and reproductions with colleagues at Yale University is currently at the planning stage.
