Dr Gillian Groszewski, B.A. (TCD), PG Dip. Ed. (TCD), M. Phil (TCD), Ph.D (TCD)
My teaching and research is mostly American and British poetry and prose of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In 2012, I completed my Ph. D. thesis in which I considered the influence of four American writers – Emily Dickinson, T. S. Eliot, Rachel Carson and Sylvia Plath – on the work of British poet Ted Hughes.
At undergraduate level, I teach on the Introduction to Poetry, Twentieth-Century US Literature, Theories of Literature and American Genres courses. At postgraduate level, I have taught on the M. Phil in Comparative Literature and the M. Phil in Literatures of the Americas.
I am currently working on a book project, based on my Ph. D. thesis, entitled Ted Hughes and America. I am also researching the textual connections between the work of Hughes and W. B. Yeats.
I am President of the Ted Hughes Society and Editor of the Ted Hughes Society Journal. I am also a member of the Irish Association of American Studies. In 2012-13, I was co-convenor of the School of English Staff-Postgraduate Seminar Series.
Publications include: ‘“I fear a Man of frugal Speech”: Ted Hughes and Emily Dickinson’ in Ted Hughes: from Cambridge to Collected eds. Terry Gifford, Neil Roberts and Mark Wormald (Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) and (forthcoming) ‘Reading Ted Hughes through Structuralisms’ in New Macmillan Casebook: Ted Hughes ed. Terry Gifford (Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013).
