معرفی
Dennis Britton is an Associate Professor in the Department of English Language & Literatures at the University of British Columbia. His research focuses on early modern English literature, with particular emphasis on the history of race, critical race theory, Protestant theology, and the history of emotion. He is the author of Becoming Christian: Race, Reformation, and Early Modern English Romance (2014) and has co-edited a special issue of Spenser Studies on 'Spenser and Race.' Current projects include Shakespeare and Pity: Feeling Difference on the Early Modern English Stage and Reforming Ethiopia: African-Anglo Relations in Protestant England.
Britton’s work bridges literary analysis with interdisciplinary inquiries into historical contexts, religious thought, and racial discourse. His recent contributions to Spenser Studies reflect his engagement with race studies, while his upcoming books explore emotional dynamics in early modern drama and transcontinental religious connections.
He has been affiliated with the UBC-Vancouver Public Humanities Hub, contributing to initiatives such as research cluster grants and public engagement programs. His teaching and scholarship emphasize critical engagement with historical texts and their contemporary resonances.
