Description
Welcome
My name is David Lucking and as of 2004 I am Full Professor of English at the University of Lecce , where I have been teaching in various capacities since 1978. I was born in England, raised in Canada, Europeanized in Turkey, academically trained in England, and domesticated in Italy. I hold a Combined Honours degree in English and Philosophy, and a PhD in English Literature, from the University of Leeds. My current teaching responsibilities include courses in Shakespeare, Canadian Literature, and English Language, details concerning which are available here.
Although my research interests are fairly diversified, a theme that crops up with notable frequency in my work is that of language in its relation to identity, an issue I have explored from various points of view and in the contexts of both English and Canadian literature. Among the authors who have particularly attracted my attention are Shakespeare, Conrad and Margaret Laurence, but I have taken liberties with numerous other writers as well, publishing some nine books and over fifty articles in the fields of English, Canadian and American literature. A number of my papers on Shakespeare have been reprinted in various venues, and others are available online.
