Daniel Lago Monteiro

I have a bachelor's degree in History, in the University of São Paulo (2005), where I obtained a Masters's degree in Philosophy (2010), and a PhD degree in Literary Theory and Comparative Literature (2016). During my PhD, I was a visiting research scholar at Birkbeck College, University of London, in the Department of English, under the supervision of Dr Luisa Calè (2014), and a Fulbright scholar in the Department of English, at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, under the supervision of Dr Michael McKeon (2014-2015). I have published the book "No Limiar da Visão: a poética do sublime em Edmund Burke" (Editora LiberArs, 2018), the translation of William Hazlitt's "'O prazer da pintura' e outros ensaios" (Editora Unesp 2021), and am one of the organisers of the book "Vitorianos: contradições e desdobramentos" (Liber Ars, 2022). I held a post-doctoral fellowship in the Institute of Advanced Studies at University College London (UCL) (2021--2022) and in the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) (2020-2023), where I carried out a comparative research between the 19th century English familiar essay and Brazilian crônicas. Currently, I am a post-doctoral fellow at The Federal University of Rio de Janeiro where I am developing the research "Machado de Assis, an essayist in the tropics". I have experience in the History of Philosophy and Literary Theory, focusing mainly on British Eighteenth Century Philosophy, sublime, familiar essays, poetics on English Romanticism, and 19th-century Brazilian "crônicas".
