Chris Stamatakis
Chris Stamatakis is Associate Professor in Renaissance Literature in the English Department at UCL, following a BA (2004), MSt (2005), and DPhil (2008) at Lincoln College, Oxford, a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at the same institution (2009–11), and then a teaching fellowship (2011-13) and lectureship (2013-19) at UCL.
Areas of specialist interest include the classical and continental influences on early modern English literature, and that literature’s material transmission and reception. All his research examines processes of literary creativity, as examined in his first monograph, Sir Thomas Wyatt and the Rhetoric of Rewriting: Turning the Word (2012), and more recently in his editing of Thomas Nashe's wonderfully bizarre pseudo-sermon Christs Teares over Jerusalem (1593) for the Oxford Nashe Complete Works project (OUP, forthcoming).
