Biography:

Nick Mason is an associate professor of English and the coordinator of the European Studies program at BYU. He specializes in British literature of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, particularly the Romantic period. In addition to teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on Romanticism, he also frequently offers classes on British literary history and the British novel. His articles have appeared in such journals as Modern Language Quarterly, Nineteenth-Century Literature, Victorian Literature and Culture, and Symbiosis. He has also edited three scholarly editions of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature:

• An anthology of Romantic-era satires that appeared as Volume 1 of the five-volume series British Satire, 1785-1840 (Pickering and Chatto, 2003)
• A six-volume edition of poetry, tales, and criticism from Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine (Pickering and Chatto, 2006)
• A classroom edition, co-edited with Matthew Mason of BYU’s History Department, of Edward Kimber’s 1754 transatlantic novel The History of the Life and Adventures of Mr. Anderson (Broadview, 2008)

His new book, Literary Advertising and the Shaping of British Romanticism, will be published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2013.
