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.
I sit on the boards of the John Andrén Foundation and of Nordic Association for Romantic Studies.
