Fabio Vericat Perez-Minguez

Fabio L. Vericat (M.A Edinburgh, Ph.D. Glasgow) lectures in the Department of English Literature at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. His research interests focus mainly on critical writing in the broad Modernist period including Henry James and T. S. Eliot, but also on Nathaniel Hawthorne’s romances and the daguerreotype, and, lately on Samuel Beckett’s theatre and media work. Fabio Vericat is currently working on a book exploring the literary text as audiovisual technology and in comparison to other media’s textual dimension, such as radio plays and silent cinema. He is actively publishing and conferencing in these areas, as he has also written reviews of contemporary fiction as well as interviewed writers such as James Kelman and James Ellroy. He is the author of From Physics to Metaphysics: Philosophy and Allegory in the Critical Writings of T. S. Eliot and has co-written a university textbook on twentieth-century English literature and thought
