Todd Dearing is a researcher and writer investigating the intersections of literature, art, psychology, and philosophy, particularly within English and German Romanticism. He focuses on conceptions of human nature, imagination, creativity, and genius, exploring how these impact upon contemporary literature, art, and what it means to be human in the twenty-first century.
Todd has recently completed his doctoral thesis, which explores the trope of the daimon in William Blake's Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion as an allegory for Blake’s humanistic vision. His thesis argues that Blake’s daimon provides a methodology for understanding and developing our humanity through literature. He has articles forthcoming in English Studies and Journal of Romanticism and has presented his work both nationally and internationally, as well as to public audiences at local council venues. He values excellence in research, teaching, and leadership as a way of service to the academic and wider community.
