Link to Vitae

Nick Mason currently serves as an associate chair in the English Department. 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, the origins and evolution of the British novel, and the works of Jane Austen.

He is the author of several articles on British literature and culture as well as three scholarly editions of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literary texts:

• 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 the ground-breaking Scottish periodical 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, forthcoming early 2009)

He is currently completing a book manuscript titled Advertising, Print, and the Shaping of British Romanticism.
