Faculty Member, Department of English, German and Roman Studies
About
Charles Lock works in 19th and 20th century literature throughout the English-writing world, and has published substantial works on Thomas Hardy and John Cowper Powys, as well as, less intensively, on the medieval mystics, Jane Austen, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Vladimir Nabokov, Patrick White, Derek Walcott, Ken Saro-Wiwa and others. Literary theory (notably M.M. Bakhtin and Roman Jakobson) and the history of thinking about literature are major concerns, along with book history and the history and semiotics of reading: ways in which a literary work (and the process of its reading) can be understood as a materially embodied construction.
Charles Lock serves as the Contributing Editor of The Powys Journal, as Reviews Editor of Angles: on the English-speaking World, and is co-founder of the Danish Book History Forum. He has supervised doctoral dissertations on William Wordsworth, Walter Scott, William Blake, Ezra Pound, John Cowper Powys, Derek Walcott and Joseph Brodsky.
