Short presentation
Robert W. Rix (Dr Phil., PhD.) is full professor at the University of Copenhagen. I have published widely in several areas relating to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: Romanticism, politics, religion, language, nationalism, Nordic antiquarianism, and print culture/book history. I have published the monographs William Blake and the Cultures of Radical Christianity (2007) and The Barbarian North in Medieval Imagination: Ethnicity, Legend, and Literature (Routledge 2014), as well as edited several collections of articles. I am currently working on the Arctic. My latest books are The Vanished Settlers of Greenland: In Search of a Legend and Its Legacy (CUP) and Nordic Terrors: Scandinavian Superstition in British Gothic Literature (Anthem)
I am PI in several research collaborations, including the DFF-funded digital humanities project 'Nordic Exceptionalism: Perspectives on a European Periphery'.
I was Deputy Head of Department 2014-2018. I am currently Deputy Head of Research (since 2021).
Office hours: Monday 10-11
