Robert Appelbaum

Robert Appelbaum was born in New York City, raised in Cleveland and Chicago, and educated at the University of Chicago and the University of California, Berkeley. Before receiving his Ph.D., he worked as a language school director, an art dealer, and -- while he studied and wrote -- a limousine driver. In 2004, after seven years of teaching and research at American universities, he moved to the northwest of England, to become a lecturer at Lancaster University. In 2011 he accepted the post of Professor of English Literature at Uppsala University, Sweden. Appelbaum's second book, Aguecheek's Beef, won the 2007 Roland H. Bainton Prize, and more recent projects have won awards from the British Academy, the Leverhulme Trust, the British Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Riksbanken Jubliemsfond.
