About Mia Fulford
I am a member of the University of Leeds' 2021 Laidlaw Scholar Cohort. My self-defined project explores the representation of concurrent themes of nature and isolation in 20th century and contemporary literature. I study English and History of Art and have a love of all things books, art and the outdoors! I also run a zine that features contributions from young creatives across the UK.
Please take a look at my blog which delves into my research project a bit deeper here: https://outdoorfiction.blogspot.com/

This is great Mia! You are more than free to share this blog on the Discord so that has better visibility to arts and humanities scholars. Best of luck with the rest of our research period!
Thanks Cath! Please could you let me know how to join it?
This is such an interesting topic Mia! Landscapes are so important in setting the scene in literature; I've studied Wuthering Heights for a while at A-level and it is so interesting to see how the landscape plays into that text too. On another note, you have given me another excuse to read Normal People, which I should probably do!
Thank you! Wuthering Heights is such a great book and Cathy is the quintessential angsty woman who runs for the hilltops (lol). I wholeheartedly recommend Normal People as well. Fair warning though - it's not the most cheerful book ever written.
