More about Dr. Grammatikos:
Alexander Grammatikos completed his B.A. Honours at Simon Fraser University (2008); M.A. at The University of York, U.K. (2010); and Ph.D. at Carleton University (2017). Currently, he works at Langara College in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Alex's research specialties include British Romanticism and early nineteenth-century Greek culture. In his book British Romantic Literature and the Emerging Modern Greek Nation (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018), Alex investigates the ways in which late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British writers constructed Modern Greece and its people, and how these literary engagements with Greece produced and complicated Britain’s relationship with the then emerging Greek nation. Alex has also published articles on women’s involvement in the early nineteenth-century literary print market and early nineteenth-century British theatre’s depictions of Greek independence.
He is currently editing a book on Byron and Translation with his colleague Maria Schoina (from Aristotle University in Thessaloniki) and planning his next monograph, which is provisionally entitled British Romantic Writers and Byzantium.
