Paddy Bullard

Paddy Bullard is AHRC Research Fellow for the forthcoming Cambridge University Press edition of the Works of Jonathan Swift. In January 2005 he was elected to a Junior Research Fellow in English at St. Catherine's, and before that he held tutorial fellowships at Mansfield and St. Anne's Colleges.

His current research interests are in eighteenth-century political literature and intellectual history, and in the formation of literary coteries. His favourite book is Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy. He is completing a study of how cultural criticism influenced the deployment of language in eighteenth-century politics, called After Rhetoric: Literature and Political Discourse from Waller to Burke.
