Benjamin Poore is Lecturer in Theatre in the Department of Theatre, Film and Television at the University of York, UK. His main research interests are connected with the fields of Neo-Victorianism and Adaptation Studies. His first book, Heritage, Nostalgia and Modern British Theatre: Staging the Victorians (Palgrave, 2012) was an account of the British preoccupation with the Victorian period, as reflected in plays staged since the ending of theatrical pre-censorship in 1968. Benjamin's other publications include articles and book chapters on stage and screen adaptations of Dracula, Sikes and Nancy, and Queen Victoria. His most recent work has considered the cultural afterlives of Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty.
