Adrian Harding has been appointed to the British Academy Network Group, a research project on the Reception of British Authors in Europe, in association with the School of Advanced Studies at the University of London. In a Network seminar on Realism at Clare Hall, Cambridge, he gave a paper on “Awkward Realism” in two novels by Henry James. In June he co-hosted an international conference on “The Institution of Translation in Europe” at the University of Aix-en-Provence and was respondent to the plenary lecture by Wolfgang Iser on Samuel Beckett. At the European Society for the Study of English Conference at Senate House, University of London, in August, he presented two papers, one on James and Realism, the other on Wordsworth’s “Haunted Metre”. A revised version of the collection of essays he co-edited with Annick Duperray, “Nathaniel Hawthorne: Narrative and the Ethical”, was published in May by Publibook Editions, Paris. He also co-edited, with Max Duperray and Joanny Moulin, the papers from an international conference on “Discourses of Melancholy” held at the University of Aix-en-Provence, published in the online review EREA in June.
 
 

 

Adrian Harding has been at AUP since 1986. He has taught classes on European Romanticisms, modern poetry and poetics, modern American poetry, literature and the visual arts, post-1800 British literature, Shakespeare, theatre in Paris, as well as freshman writing. Elsewhere he has lectured on contemporary art and contemporary poetry. His critical interests centre on poetics, on questions of language and identity, on the relation between context and performance, writing and action.
