Autorenporträt
A specialist in early modern French literature and thought, Timothy Chesters was awarded his doctorate at Balliol College, Oxford, in 2005. Since then he has taught in Oxford and Royal Holloway, University of London, where he has been a lecturer in Modern Languages since 2007. Besides his work on ghosts and demonology, his research interests include nineteenth-century attitudes towards the early modern, and the relationship between phenomenology and literature in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the Geneva School of literary criticism. His latest project is a book on Flaubert and the French Renaissance.
