Helena Kelly holds a doctorate in English Literature from Oxford, where she has also taught and where she is about to return for a visiting scholarship at the Oxford Centre for Life Writing at Wolfson College. She is the author of The Life and Lies of Charles Dickens, praised by Kirkus Reviews as "a literary bio that deftly untangles truth from untruth,” and of Jane Austen, the Secret Radical, hailed as "a sublime piece of literary detective work” (The Observer) and "an interpretive coup that is dazzling and dizzying” (The New Yorker).
