Dr Joseph Hone serves as a Research Fellow in Literature and Book History at Newcastle University, specializing in 18th-century English literary culture with particular expertise in Alexander Pope studies, book forgery, and political contexts of early modern publishing. His scholarly profile bridges bibliographic precision with literary analysis of illicit printing practices.
Hone's academic foundation includes a doctorate from the University of Oxford (2015), preceded by the Katharine F. Pantzer Fellowship at Harvard (2014) and followed by the James M. Osborn Fellowship at Yale (2018), establishing his credentials in descriptive bibliography and literary history.
His research centers on the material production of texts, examining how political affiliations shaped literary output during the Queen Anne era and investigating systematic book forgery networks. This work reveals connections between textual materiality, political ideology, and underground printing economies in early modern England.
Publications demonstrate chronological progression from political literary analysis (Literature and Party Politics at the Accession of Queen Anne, 2017) to forensic book history (The Book Forger, 2024), with his ongoing Alexander Pope in the Making project extending this trajectory into authorial material practices.
Major recognitions include:
- Philip Leverhulme Prize (2022) for transformative contributions to literary studies and bibliography
- Katharine F. Pantzer Fellowship in Descriptive Bibliography (Harvard, 2014)
- James M. Osborn Fellowship in English Literature and History (Yale, 2018)
