Academic Summary

Dr. Darryl P. Domingo joined the Department of English at the University of 蜜桃导航 in 2011, after having earned his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. His research interests are wide-ranging, but his primary area of expertise is in the literature and culture of eighteenth-century Britain. Taking seriously the formal and thematic intersections between text and context, his research analyzes the ways in which cultural phenomena represent, and are represented by, the devices of literary works. Dr. Domingo's first book, The Rhetoric of Diversion in English Literature and Culture, 1690-1760 (Cambridge University Press, 2016; paperback reissue in 2018), examined eighteenth-century conceptions of amusement鈥攊ncluding the so-called 鈥淩eigning Diversions of the Town鈥濃�攁nd their implication in the period鈥檚 attitudes towards language, rhetoric, and wit. His current book project, an edited collection of essays on Press Advertising and Periodical Journalism in Eighteenth-Century Britain, explores how the commercial advertisements that usually subsidized eighteenth-century newspapers and journals complement, contradict, or otherwise complicate the content for which periodicals are better known: leader essays, reportage, occasional poetry, serialized fiction, reviews, epistolary correspondence, 鈥渇reshest Advices Foreign and Domestic.鈥�

Dr. Domingo鈥檚 research has appeared in such journals as Eighteenth-Century Studies, Eighteenth-Century Fiction, Eighteenth-Century Life, Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies, and The Review of English Studies as well as in books published by Cambridge University Press, M.L.A., and Oxford University Press. He has held numerous awards and fellowships, including a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada doctoral fellowship, a visiting fellowship at the Center for Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Studies at U.C.L.A., the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Fellowship for research in residence at the Newberry Library, Chicago, and a Marcus Orr Center for the Humanities Freeburg Fellowship at the University of 蜜桃导航. He enjoys reading the classifieds in his own collection of eighteenth-century newspapers and journals.
