Biography

Margrét Gunnarsdóttir Champion is a prominent scholar in the field of English literature, particularly focusing on medieval literature and British American modernist writers. She emphasizes the importance of teaching older literary texts through a contemporary lens, often linking medieval works to modern critical theories. Her notable publications include 'Dwelling Language: Character, Psychoanalysis Literary Consolations' (2013), which explores character modes in literature through the psychoanalytical frameworks established by Jacques Lacan, addressing themes of human subjectivity and language ethics. Currently, Margrét is engaged in a research project that reevaluates the works of prominent British modernist writers such as Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, and T. S. Eliot, considering contemporary concepts of intermediality and transculturalism. Her edited volume 'Cognition, Emotion Consciousness Modernist Storyworlds: Feel Experience' (2022) reflects her interests in the interplay of emotional and cognitive experiences within modernist storytelling. Margrét's extensive academic contributions have significantly enriched the discourse on literature and its psychoanalytical dimensions, making her a key figure in her field.
