Who is Jeremy Tambling?

Jeremy Tambling B.A, M.Phil, PhD is a British writer and critic. He was Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Hong Kong until 2006 and then Professor of Literature at the University of Manchester until December 2013.

He has won a number of awards for his scholarship including research grants for his work on Blake, Dante, and Henry James and is a recurring face on the conference scene; four times on Dickens in 2012.

Tambling’s literary interests range from Boccaccio to Kafka, Chaucer to Cinema. More specifically he has published books on Blake, Dickens and the nineteenth-century and cities within literature. Publication of his book Opera and the Culture of Fascism was met by a number of distressed voices from the operatic world; possibly due to the book’s suggestion of a complicity from the industry with fascist ideology.
