Dr Carly Watson is a Lecturer at the Department for Continuing Education and the Faculty of English at the University of Oxford. She directs the MSt in Literature and Arts (MLA) and the DPhil in Literature and Arts (DLA), while teaching graduate courses in bibliography, book history, and scholarly editing.
- PhD in English from the University of Birmingham (2014)
- MA and BA in English from Oxford University
Her research focuses on late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century poetry, print culture, book history, and digital humanities. She specializes in the role of poetry in the literary marketplace and the intersection of material texts with cultural, societal, and technological developments.
Carly’s publications leverage data from the Digital Miscellanies Index, a database she managed postdoctoral research for, to analyze trends in miscellany publishing. Her forthcoming monograph, Miscellanies, Poetry, and Authorship, 1680-1800, redefines the miscellany form by challenging modern author-centric approaches.
Notable scientific awards include the Balliol-Bodley Scholarship (2010) for archival research. Her collaborative projects include workshops at Thomas Bewick’s birthplace, funded by the Novel Impressions network (led by Dr Helen Williams).
Carly’s teaching spans eighteenth-century literature, manuscript/print culture, and graduate-level bibliography courses. She integrates material texts from English Faculty libraries into classroom instruction and offers an optional course on editing practices.
