Autorenporträt

Timothy Webb was born in Dublin and was educated there and in Oxford; he has taught at the universities of Leeds, Michigan State, York and Bristol, where he was Winterstoke Professor and Head of the Department of English between 1990 and 1999. Although he has written extensively on Shelley (especially on Shelley and translation), on whom he has published a number of books and editions, he has also lectured and published over many years in a number of countries on a wide range of topics. For fourteen years he was editor of Keats-Shelley Review and he was one of the founding editors of Romanticism. His interest in Irish literature and history has led to a pioneering edition of Yeats's poetry (published by Penguin in 1991 and still in print), forthcoming books on English versions of Robert Emmet and the life of an Irish informer (with accompanying CD), and a detailed study of Ireland and the English Romantics which is nearly completed.
