Professor of Nineteenth & Twentieth-Century Literature, King's College London

Mark Turner is the curator of 'Derek Jarman: Pandemonium', an immersive exhibition showing at Somerset House from the 23rd of January to Sunday 9 March 2014.

He has two primary areas of research interest: the relationship between literature, media and culture since the 19th century, and Anglo-American queer studies. He has published widely on various aspects of literature, journalism, photography, film, painting and popular culture.

I am currently co-editing, with John Stokes, a major new edition of Oscar Wilde’s journalism for Oxford University Press and have recently completed one article on Derek Jarman and London in the 1980s and another on the idea of ‘zigzagging’ in the modern city.
