Timothy Campbell is an Associate Professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Chicago. He has been teaching at UChicago since 2008, focusing on eighteenth-century and Romantic literature, literary history, and visual culture. His research encompasses the intersections of literature, culture, and fashion in the long eighteenth century, particularly examining how visual-cultural practices influenced literary forms. His book, 'Historical Style: Fashion New Mode History, 1740-1830,' explores the emergence of historical consciousness and the fashion system in relation to literature, notably the works of Walter Scott and his contemporaries. Campbell regularly teaches undergraduate and graduate courses covering British Romantic fiction, poetry, the history and theory of fashion, and the relationships between visual and sound media. He is involved in various academic workshops and projects, including the Eighteenth-Century Seminar and the Object Cultures Project at the Newberry Library. His select publications reflect his scholarly interests and contributions to the field, with several essays and forthcoming works that address the dynamics between dress and historical narratives.
