Professor Dafydd Moore is the Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University of Plymouth and holds the academic rank of Professor of Eighteenth-Century Literature. His administrative role in the Office of the Vice Chancellor underscores his leadership in higher education governance while maintaining an active scholarly profile. His research focuses on Romanticism, Scottish Enlightenment literature, and the cultural impact of James Macpherson’s Ossianic poems. Professor Moore’s work bridges literary analysis with historical, political, and interdisciplinary studies, exploring themes such as literary forgery, regional identity, and the intersections of myth and science.
His publications span over two decades, analyzing figures like Richard Polwhele, John Wolcot (Peter Pindar), and the socio-political contexts of 18th- and 19th-century British literature. Key contributions include studies on Ossian’s reception, the role of oratory in loyalist Romanticism, and the cultural myth-making of Devon and Cornwall. His recent works (2024-2025) address interdisciplinary material studies and contemporary reinterpretations of historical texts.
Moore’s research consistently interrogates how literary works shape—and are shaped by—historical events, cultural movements, and intellectual debates. His articles often reveal the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate fields, such as geology and poetry, or classical antiquity and modern myth. Despite no explicit awards listed, his sustained academic output and administrative leadership highlight his influence in scholarly and institutional spheres.
