Ian McCormick

Ian McCormick teaches English Language and Literature and was a Professor at the University of Northampton.

I've published, edited, and contributed to fifteen books on topics ranging from gothic literature to romanticism; John Dryden to T.S. Eliot; sexuality and gender studies; modern literature; the contemporary Scottish novel; teaching and learning strategies; drama education; and literary, critical, and cultural theory. Education: University of St Andrews (M.A.); University of Leeds (Ph.D). My Ph.D. was on the grotesque and the monstrous in eighteenth-century English literature.

My academic work has been supported by various Awards and Prizes: King James VI Prize (1989); Lawson Memorial Prize (1985); British Academy Studentship (1990-93). My work has been reviewed and featured on the BBC (Radio and TV); Times Literary Supplement, The Observer, The Guardian, TimeOut (London), and academic journals.

I'm currently finishing a book on Archaic English and working on the second volume of the satirical novel: Class and Cloister: the St Andrews Correspondence.
