| Introduction | Derek has a wide range of research interests. His Ph.D was on Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy, and his first publications were on Sterne and Rochester. The period 1660-1770 has continued to be his main focus, both in published works and in his many programmes for the BBC, particularly on Handel (the subject of his online Archive). In 2010 he published a general survey of this period. He has, also, always been interested in modernism, particularly the work of Samuel Beckett, resulting in three articles in 2013. Now he has returned to his specialist period with further research on Sterne and an article in preparation on John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera. His first volume of poetry, More Bagpipe Music, was published recently. To see further details please visit http://www.chester.ac.uk/departments/english/staff/dr-derek-alsop |
