For more than twenty years, he was Professor of English and Director of the University Press at Bucknell University, where he taught courses on literature 1660-1860, and on a wide range of texts in their relations with law, history, memory, translation, landscape, the environment, and the exotic. He is the author of *Johnson, Writing, and Memory* (Cambridge, 2002), the editor, most recently, of *The New Cambridge Companion to Samuel Johnson* (2022) and *Oriental Networks: Culture, Commerce, and Communication in the Long Eighteenth Century* (2021), and also of many other books and essays on Johnson, Boswell, Dryden, and critical issues in historiography and translation. He is writing a book of essays on Samuel Johnson for Lehigh University Press, and an intellectual biography, that doubles as a cultural anthropology, of Lady Anne Lindsay Barnard (1750-1825), whose life, writing and art took her to Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Paris, and the Cape of Good Hope. Greg's contribution to eighteenth-century studies has been recognised in *A Clubbable Man: Essays on Eighteenth-Century Literature and Culture in Honor of Greg Clingham,* edited by Anthony W. Lee (2022). For Greg's web site, go to www.greg-clingham.com
