Philip Horne received his MA and PhD from the University of Cambridge, and held a Research Fellowship at Christ’s College, Cambridge before moving to UCL. Henry James is his central interest; he has served as the President of the International Henry James Society, and delivered the Henry James lecture at the Rye Festival. He has worked a good deal in US archives, and has also taught two semesters at Dartmouth College. He has a strong interest in film as well as in literature, an interest which takes many forms, but has included a sustained effort to restore the reputation of the neglected British film director Thorold Dickinson. He organised a centenary conference in 2003, and seasons at the British Film Institute and the Barbican Centre; in 2008 he introduced Dickinson films in New York and at Yale. He has interviewed filmmakers including Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, John Boorman, and Terence Davies. He writes on literature and film for newspapers and magazines, including regular reviews of films on DVD for the Daily Telegraph.
