Lucie Kotesovska is a PhD student and a doctoral fellow at the English department. She holds a double master’s degree in English and French philology from Palacky University in Olomouc and a master’s degree in English literature from the University of Northern Iowa. Her main research interest lies in Anglo-American modernism and its experiment in poetry, fiction as well as non-fiction.

She has published articles on the politics of the footnote in late modernist poetry and the narrative passion in Ford Madox Ford’s Good Soldier. She is also a co-author of the Czech translation of a monograph on Adolf Loos. She is a recipient of Charles E. Merrill scholarship and a winner of Frank and Otelia Kraft Scholarship for Academic and Service Excellence. In the proposed dissertation, she is going to research the numinous qualities of the modernist novel.
