Kate Macdonald

    Kate Macdonald est une spécialiste de l'histoire littéraire britannique, avec un accent particulier sur l'histoire de l'édition à la fin de l'époque victorienne et au début du XXe siècle. Elle est une autorité reconnue dans la fiction de John Buchan et défend activement les études du 'middlebrow' ainsi que la redécouverte d'auteurs oubliés. Son travail se caractérise par une profonde compréhension du marché littéraire et un engagement à exhumer des œuvres significatives mais moins célébrées. Son intérêt pour l'histoire littéraire s'étend à la promotion d'auteurs dont les contributions ont été négligées.
