Dr David Cooper
BA (Liverpool); PhD (Lancaster)
Postdoctoral Researcher, Department of English & Creative Writing
David's doctoral thesis (Lancaster University, 2007)offers a reading of the twentieth-century Cumbrian writer, Norman Nicholson, as a poet of place and space. The literary GIS project emerged out of this earlier study. David's current research interests lie in the intersections of literature and cartography; the practice of notetaking; and the relationship between Romantic and post-Romantic conceptions of landscape and environment, with a particular emphasis on the English Lake District.
