Join us for Professor Thomas McLean's Inaugural Professorial Lecture titled "Reading with Pictures: Adventures in Nineteenth-Century Art and Literature".
About Professor Thomas McLean's research:
Thomas McLean studies nineteenth-century British literature, art, and culture. His research examines representations of Eastern Europe and Russia in British and Irish culture. He has also worked extensively on nineteenth-century literary manuscripts, identifying previously unknown letters written by notable artists and writers. Over the years he has written on John Keats, Lord Byron, George Eliot, and Bram Stoker.
Thomas has received research fellowships from Harvard, Yale, the Huntington Library, the New York Public Library, UCLA and ANU. In 2024 he received the Frances Browne Award for his early and groundbreaking research on the blind Irish poet Frances Browne, who is now celebrated at an annual festival in County Donegal, Ireland.
He has co-curated three special collections exhibitions and is a past President of the Romantic Studies Association of Australasia and of the Dunedin Public Art Gallery Society.
Thomas enjoys sharing his research discoveries with a wide readership. His work has appeared in the NZ Listener, North & South, The Conversation, Newsroom, and the Los Angeles Review of Books.
