Sandro Jung (born 1976) is a literary scholar and Fudan Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature and Director of the university-level Foreign Languages and Literature Institute at Fudan University. Before joining Fudan University, he served as Distinguished Professor and Head of English Literature at the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, where he also directed the Centre for the Study of Text and Print Culture. In addition to his position at Fudan University, he also serves as Jack Ma Distinguished Professor at Hangzhou Normal University and as Distinguished Professor at Hexi University. Jung was the Founding Director of the Centre for the Study of Text and Print Culture at Ghent University. [1] For the past 13 years, he has been the editor-in-chief of ANQ: A Quarterly Journal of Short Articles, Notes and Reviews .

Jung has been the recipient of numerous short- and long-term fellowships, including at the Houghton Library, Harvard University, where he was Eleanor M. Garvey Fellow in Printing and Graphic Arts and at Princeton University Library, where he was based in the Graphic Arts Department. In 2015, Jung was awarded a Marie Curie long-term fellowship as part of the EURIAS Junior Fellowship scheme, as part of which he researched the marketing of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Scottish literature at the University of Edinburgh's Institute of Advanced Studies. In 2016, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation awarded Jung a Senior Fellowship, which enabled him to undertake a major project on book illustration at the Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel, as part of which he also organized a major exhibition at the library. And in 2018, he was awarded a Marie Curie long-term fellowship as part of the EURIAS Senior Fellowship scheme, during which he was based at the Freiburg Institute of Advanced Studies and researched a project on the transnational fortunes of Robinson Crusoe.

Jung is well-known for his publications on eighteenth-century English poetry. He is especially interested in lyric forms of poetry such as the ode and the pastoral, and he has extensively researched the (Georgic) long poem, publishing major studies of James Thomson's magnum opus, The Seasons. While genre-critical and genre-historical work characterized his publications up to 2012, he has since adopted interdisciplinary approaches, especially those involving the study of text-image relationships, to recover and chart the reception and reading history of literary works. He is considered a leading authority in the field of illustration studies. [2] [3] [4]

The "Graveyard Poets", also termed "Churchyard Poets", were a number of pre-Romantic poets of the 18th century characterised by their gloomy meditations on mortality, "skulls and coffins, epitaphs and worms" elicited by the presence of the graveyard. Moving beyond the elegy lamenting a single death, their purpose was rarely sensationalist. As the century progressed, "graveyard" poetry increasingly expressed a feeling for the "sublime" and uncanny, and an antiquarian interest in ancient English poetic forms and folk poetry. The "graveyard poets" are often recognized as precursors of the Gothic literary genre, as well as the Romantic movement.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Miscellany</span> Publishing term; collection of various pieces of writing by different authors

A miscellany is a collection of various pieces of writing by different authors. Meaning a mixture, medley, or assortment, a miscellany can include pieces on many subjects and in a variety of different forms. In contrast to anthologies, whose aim is to give a selective and canonical view of literature, miscellanies were produced for the entertainment of a contemporary audience and so instead emphasise collectiveness and popularity. Laura Mandell and Rita Raley state:

This last distinction is quite often visible in the basic categorical differences between anthologies on the one hand, and all other types of collections on the other, for it is in the one that we read poems of excellence, the "best of English poetry," and it is in the other that we read poems of interest. Out of the differences between a principle of selection and a principle of collection, then, comes a difference in aesthetic value, which is precisely what is at issue in the debates over the "proper" material for inclusion into the canon.
