Tim Fulford
Author · 2 books
Professor Tim Fulford is one of the leading proponents of the new, historicised critique of literature as applied to the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries (especially Romantic literature). He has written a series of internationally acclaimed authoritative works on poetry in relation to the politics of landscape (rural society), to issues of gender (in particular, the politicisation of masculinity) and to exploration, colonialism and science.
