Andrew Burkett's research interests center on the intersections among literature, science, and technology in the British Romantic era. His first monograph project examines issues of causality in nineteenth-century aesthetics and science, and his new book project is an investigation of the relationship between Romantic imaginative literature and the world of new media dating from the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. He has published articles on topics ranging from the discourse of Malthusianism and the Victorian verse novel to early silent film and aesthetic theory.
