Andreas Tranvik is a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at the Centre for Languages and Literature, Lund University. His research is primarily focused on literature as it relates to the history of ideas and the history of knowledge. Currently, he is working on a research project about humour and knowledge in the works of the 18th century Danish-Norwegian writer Ludvig Holberg. In addition to this ongoing project, Tranvik has published several scholarly articles in domestic as well as in international contexts, examining the works of authors such as Edward Albee, Kjell Espmark, and August Strindberg.
