Sophie Phelps is a PhD candidate at Anglia Ruskin University. Her current research focuses on representations of liminality in the works of Charles Dickens. Focusing on the space in between an adult and a child, Sophie's PhD thesis argues that the creation of liminal characters was a key narrative technique used by Dickens as a way to engage with an array of controversial subject matters that sit just below the surface of the text.
