Blair Hoxby

associate professor of English

Blair Hoxby writes on the literature and culture of Renaissance and Enlightenment Europe.  Most recently, he has published What Was Tragedy?  Theory and the Early Modern Canon (OUP, 2015).  He also has an abiding interest in the poetry and prose of John Milton.  His edited collection of essays on Milton’s place in Restoration and early eighteenth-century England, entitled Milton in the Long Restoration, will be available soon from OUP. 

When he is not reading early modern texts, he likes to study Roman history, military history, art history, and garden design, and to read modernist novels by the likes of Henry James, Ernest Hemingway, D.H. Lawrence, and James Joyce.
