Robinson, and my guest, Dr Emily Vincent, as we discuss 'Playing with Fire' by Arthur Conan Doyle. Dr Emily Vincent is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in English Literature at the University of Birmingham. As part of the&amp;nbsp;Media and Epidemics&amp;nbsp;project, Emily is co-writing a book on imaginative representations of influenza in nineteenth- and twentieth-century British periodicals and fiction. Emily holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of Birmingham. Her first monograph (forthcoming with Cambridge University Press) explores how women navigate maternal grief in&amp;nbsp;fin-de-si\u00e8cle&amp;nbsp;ghost stories by examining loss, spiritualism, and maternity. In 2024, Emily compiled and edited&amp;nbsp;Summoned to the S\u00e9ance: Spirit Tales from Beyond the Veil, a collection of spiritualism-inspired ghost stories for British Library Publishing as part of their \u2018Tales of the Weird\u2019 series.
