Nicholas Halmi is professor of English and comparative literature at the University of Oxford and Margaret Candfield Fellow of University College, Oxford.
Early life and education[edit]
He received his BA from Cornell University and his MA and PhD from the University of Toronto.[1]
Career[edit]
Before moving to Oxford in 2009 he taught English and comparative literature at the University of Washington, Seattle.[2] In winter 2011 he was a visiting professor of English at Stanford University.[3] From December 2019 to January 2020 he was a visiting scholar at the Leibniz-Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung in Berlin.[4]
Halmi's research is concerned principally with British and western European literature, philosophy, and visual arts (including architecture) of the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries (Enlightenment and Romanticism). Among the focal points of his research are historical self-understanding, attitudes to and uses of the historical past, responses to the challenges and discontents of modernity, and intercultural exchange (in particular Anglo-German and Anglo-Italian).[5][6][7][8] His book The Genealogy of the Romantic Symbol (2007), described in the Times Higher Education Supplement as "one of the most profound reflections on symbol since Paul de Man",[9] examined the theorization of the symbol by such thinkers as J. W. Goethe, F. W. J. Schelling, and S. T. Coleridge. His current research, which has been supported by a Leverhume Trust Major Research Fellowship,[10] considers the relationship between historicism and aesthetics. He has published on German Romantic philosophy,[11] and his work on Coleridge's reception of Spinoza has been translated into Italian.[12]
Halmi is also known for his textual scholarship,[13] including Norton Critical Editions of Coleridge and William Wordsworth.[14] From 2011 to 2018 he was an advisory editor of Oxford Scholarly Editions Online, a project that has digitized over 1600 scholarly editions published by Oxford University Press and other publishers.[15]
