Peter Marks

I completed my combined Honours degree in English Literature and Political Science at UNSW, and my PhD in English at the University of Edinburgh. I taught at the University of Hull before coming to Sydney.

I have been a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh; at Clare Hall, Cambridge University; and at King’s College, London. At various times I have been Chair of the Department of English. I am particularly interested in relationships between literature and cinema, as well as between literature and politics; in periodical culture; in utopias, and in the literary and cinematic representation of surveillance.
