Before taking up the chair of English literature at Lund in July 2016, my academic career brought me from the National University of Ireland at Galway to the universities of Cambridge, Glasgow, York, St. Mary's, and Copenhagen. My research examines various aspects of the intellectual life and cultural history of Britain during the late eighteenth century and 'romantic' period.
Current interests include the relationship between romanticisms and romantic nationalisms in Britain and the Nordic countries. In the longer term, I'm contemplating a book about romanticism and the weather.
I sit on the boards of the John Andrén Foundation and of Nordic Association for Romantic Studies.

About the research
My research concerns various aspects of the intellectual life and cultural history of Britain in the late eighteenth century and Romantic period. I sit on the boards of the John Andrén Foundation, the Olof Sager Foundation, and the Nordic Association for Romantic Studies, and I am one of the editors of that Association's journal, Romantik: Journal for the Study of Romanticisms. I am also on the advisory board of Interactions, the journal published twice a year by the Department of English Literature and Linguistics at Ege Izmir University.
