Griffin, Robert Associate Professor

I am interested in theoretical and methodological problems in literary and cultural history such as: periodization; history of authorship; history and sociology of the book; epistemology of reading; history of the literary field; British culture, 1660-1832.  My next project traces two key words, epistrophē andénonciation, as a way of approaching the history of subjectivity in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and in our current moment.
