Juliette's research focuses on three main areas: 

• Nineteenth-century fiction: she has written the introduction, notes, and appendix for an edition of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss, and has edited Eliot's Silas Marner, all for Oxford World's Classics. She has published articles on Eliot, is completing the Very Short Introduction to George Eliot for OUP, and is editing The Oxford Handbook of George Eliot with Elisha Cohn (Cornell). Her second book explored the influence of French fiction on Victorian novelists and their reviewers.
• Life-writing: Juliette's first book, Victorian Biography Reconsidered: a Study of Nineteenth-Century ‘Hidden’ Lives (OUP, 2010), funded by a UCL scholarship, considered the lives of obscure or minor individuals who form the subjects of Victorian biographers working against the contemporary fascination with ‘Great Men’. Working-class biographies, ‘failed’ lives, the representation of female subjects, attempted recoveries of neglected Romantic artists, and the lesser luminaries of the Dictionary of National Biography are all given close analysis. She is currently completing volume 5 of the Oxford History of Life-Writing, which will provide an account of nineteenth-century autobiography, biography, diaries, letters, and travel narratives. She was awarded a Leverhulme Research Fellowship to complete this project. 
• Transnational networks: Juliette's second book, French Novels and the Victorians (OUP, 2017), made use of both book history and close reading approaches to take issue with the common portrayal of the Victorians as insular and prudish readers. It considered the publishing and cosmopolitan networks which disseminated French literature in England, the complexities of Victorian (self-)censorship and censoriousness, and debates concerning foreign literary influence, interference and national literary protectionism. The research was funded by a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship (2009-2012), and part of the research, then in progress, was awarded a New Scholars Award by the Bibliographical Society of America in 2012. Her current research on life-writing maintains her interest in international exchange, and explores writing from across the globe.
