His PhD project explores how writing emanating from Britain’s rural regions interacted with wider notions of nation-building during the nineteenth century. Before embarking on his PhD, John was a secondary school English teacher and worked as a Head of Department in a rural comprehensive school in the South West. He is interested in how literature makes us think about the status of particular places, and how people associated with regional places position themselves and their writing in relation to the pressures and opportunities presented by the metropolitan centre. These topics also inform John’s poetry and songwriting.
