Dr. Aaron Rosenberg

Biography

Aaron Rosenberg joined the Department of English at King's College London in 2023 after completing a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship. He holds a PhD from Cornell University, where he was a Graduate Fellow in the Society for the Humanities. He also earned his MSt from the University of Oxford and a BA from Duke University. Rosenberg's research focuses on 19th and 20th century literature, with interests in Environmental Humanities, Ecocriticism, and the history and theory of the novel. His book, "Scale, Crisis, Modern Novel: Extreme Measures" (Cambridge, 2023), examines how authors writing at the turn of the twentieth century developed experimental strategies to expand the spatial and temporal range of the novel in response to ecological issues. He is interested in supervising PhDs in Victorian and Modern literature, ecocriticism, and environmental humanities. He teaches broadly on Victorian and modern periods, addressing questions of literary form, critical theory, and the relationship between literature and science.
