Profile

Alice Ferrebe is Professor and Head of Literature at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University. Her research interests include twentieth- and twenty first-century British Literature, and literary gender, particularly masculinity.

She is the author of two books, Masculinity in Male-Authored Fiction 1950-2000 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2005) and Literature of the 1950s: Good, Brave Causes (Edinburgh University Press, 2012), and has co-edited Teaching Gender (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and The 1950s: A Decade of Modern British Fiction (Bloomsbury, 2019). She regularly contributes introductions to post-war British novels reissued by Valancourt Press in the US, including Bright Day by J. B. Priestley (2019), and Radcliffe by David Storey (2013).

Her most recent papers have explored the intersections between 1950s fiction and both anthropological writing, and painting, and she is currently writing a book on the novelist Elizabeth Taylor.
