Ymchwil
Prif feysydd fy ymchwil yw Rhamantiaeth (yn enwedig y berthynas rhwng llenyddiaeth a gwleidyddiaeth yn oes y chwyldro) a diwylliannau materol ehangach y cyfnod Rhamantaidd; Hanesyddiaeth Ramantaidd a methodolegau Astudiaethau Rhamantaidd (gan gynnwys gwrthfactioldeb a dulliau beirniadol-greadigol); Rhamantiaeth a daearyddiaeth/cartograffeg; Ysgrifennu Cymraeg yn Saesneg; Barddoniaeth yr ugeinfed ganrif; ac Ysgrifennu Creadigol (yn enwedig barddoniaeth) – gyda'i gilydd, wrth gwrs, gyda'r rhyngwynebau rhwng y cyfnodau, disgyblaethau a dulliau hyn.
Rwy'n cwblhau cyfrol olaf cyd-awdur yr Oxford Literary History of Wales, yr wyf yn Olygydd Cyffredinol ohoni. Ymhlith ei gyhoeddiadau diweddar mae erthyglau ar Coleridge, llongddrylliad a thrawma ac ar drafodaethau creadigol-feirniadol Keats gyda'r afiechyd a'i lladdodd; y casgliad golygedig Counterfactual Romanticism (Gwasg Prifysgol Manceinion, 2019); y casgliad cyd-olygedig Romantic Cartographies (Gwasg Prifysgol Caergrawnt, 2020); a'r casgliad Roald Dahl: Wales of the Unexpected (Gwasg Prifysgol Cymru, 2016). Mae ei gyhoeddiadau yn cynnwys argraffiad Caergrawnt o nofel Thomas Love Peacock, The Misfortunes of Elphin (1829), gyda Mary-Ann Constantine. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n cwblhau erthyglau ar The English Mail-coach gan Thomas De Quincey, ac ar Dylan Thomas a gweddi.
Mae ei chasgliadau barddoniaeth diweddar yn cynnwys Judas (Seren, 2015), Docklands (Seren, 2019), Viva Bartali! (Seren, 2023) a Free Verse: Poems for Richard Price (Seren, 2023; golygwyd ar y cyd â Kevin Mills). Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn defnyddio'r monolog dramatig i adfer – os mai dim ond pwysleisio anadferadwyedd – lleisiau coll neu ymylol hanes yn unig. Rwy'n cwblhau llyfr ffeithiol o'r enw The Ground, sy'n cloddio chwe chae cyfagos ym Mro Morgannwg, ynghyd â chyfrol o farddoniaeth wedi'i chanoli ar ddigwyddiad morwrol dramatig o'r cyfnod Rhufeinig, o'r enw The Light.
Addysgu
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n Ddirprwy Is-Ganghellor ac felly mae fy amser addysgu'n gyfyngedig, ond mae fy mhortffolio cwricwlwm yn cynnwys modiwlau israddedig ac MA ar Ramantiaeth, Ysgrifennu Cymraeg mewn Saesneg ac Ysgrifennu Creadigol. Rwy'n parhau i oruchwylio myfyrwyr PhD ac yn croesawu ceisiadau yn y meysydd uchod.
Bywgraffiad
Damian joined the School of English, Communication & Philosophy at Cardiff in 2013 from Aberystwyth University, where he was Head of the Department of English & Creative Writing and Rendel Chair of English.
Aelodaethau proffesiynol
I am Chair of Literature Wales, the national company for the promotion of literature, and a Fellow of the Welsh Academy. I am a member of the Editorial Panel of University of Wales Press and serve on the committee of Wales's premier poetry magazine, Poetry Wales.
Meysydd goruchwyliaeth
Rwy'n croesawu ceisiadau am astudiaeth PhD ym meysydd llenyddiaeth a diwylliant y cyfnod Rhamantaidd; daearyddiaeth lenyddol/cartograffeg; Ysgrifennu Cymraeg yn Saesneg; ac Ysgrifennu Creadigol (epsecially poetry).
