Neal Alexander
My research concentrates upon twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature - poetry, fiction, and non-fiction writing - from Britain and Ireland. I have a particular interest in the disciplinary interface between literature and geography and have published fairly widely in this field, including a monograph, Ciaran Carson: Space, Place, Writing (2010), and a collection of essays, edited with David Cooper, on Poetry & Geography (2013). I am a member of the editorial collective for a new e-journal, Literary Geographies: http://www.literarygeographies.net/index.php/LitGeogs
I'm also interested in modernist and late modernist writing, especially in Britain and Ireland. A collection of essays on Regional Modernisms, edited with James Moran, appeared in 2013.
Recently, I've also begun researching and writing about literary representations of everyday life, including a longish article on Jon McGregor for Contemporary Literature.
Current projects include a monograph on contemporary literary geographies in Britain and Ireland, and an essay on short stories of London for the Cambridge History of the Short Story, edited by Dominic Head.
