Dr Adam Guy is a Departmental Lecturer at the University of Oxford's Faculty of English, affiliated with Harris Manchester College and Worcester College. His research focuses on materialist approaches to transnational modernism, book history, and platform studies. He specializes in mid-20th century experimental prose, particularly the influence of the French nouveau roman on British writers like Christine Brooke-Rose, B.S. Johnson, and Ann Quin. His monograph The nouveau roman and Writing in Britain After Modernism (OUP, 2019) examines post-war literary innovation. Guy is also a leading scholar of Dorothy Richardson’s Pilgrimage sequence, serving on editorial boards for scholarly editions and preparing an Oxford edition of Interim and Deadlock (forthcoming 2025). His current project historicizes digital platforms (Amazon, Facebook) through a comparative study of 20th-century publishing industries, exploring themes like data capitalism and literary labor. He co-founded the Privacy Settings Collective, which investigates digital reading’s algorithmic mediation. Guy’s work bridges literary history with contemporary media studies, emphasizing publishing’s role in shaping cultural economies.
His teaching spans modernist literature, experimental fiction, and publishing history. He has contributed to Modernist Cultures, Modernism/modernity, and Pilgrimages, and co-edits volumes on Dorothy Richardson. Recent projects include a collaborative article on Kindle app reading practices and an essay on tech memoirs’ negotiation of digital rights. His interdisciplinary approach integrates archival research, textual editing, and critical theory, making significant contributions to both modernist studies and digital humanities.
