OVERVIEW

Maria Schoina is Associate Professor in the Department of English Literature and Culture. She received her BA, MA and Ph.D. from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Her research interests focus on British Romantic literature and culture (esp. Byron and the Shelleys), Romantic Philhellenism, Anglo-Italian literary and cultural relations, the reception of classical texts in the Romantic period, gothic literature, and the history of the book.

She has presented several papers at international conferences and her essays have appeared in journals such as Romanticism, The Byron Journal, the Journal of Anglo-Italian Studies, European Romantic Review, The Wordsworth Circle and in essay collections. She is the author of Romantic 'Anglo-Italians': Configurations of Identity in Byron, the Shelleys, and the Pisan Circle (Ashgate 2009; Routledge, 2016; Routledge 2019 as a paperback) and co-editor of The Place of Lord Byron in World History: Studies in his Life, Writings, and Influence (Edwin Mellen Press 2012). Romantic Anglo-Italians received very positive reviews in The Year’s Work in English Studies (90, 2011;645-46) in The Byron Journal (39.1, 2011; 64-67) in the Keats-Shelley Review (26.1, 2012; 75-77), in the BARS Bulletin (43, 2012;18-19).
