Suh-Reen Han’s research interests revolve around questions of rhetoric and ethics raised by British Romantic literature in and against modernity–including themes of interiority and lyricism, hospitality toward the (non)human other, and the global power of empire. Currently, her focus is on exploring how these questions are refracted through a network of modern texts spanning temporal and spatial boundaries. She is working toward conceptualizing the Westernness of British Romantic literature through a comparative study with modern Korean literature while examining their historical and textual interconnections. Positioned at the intersection of cosmopolitanism, postcolonialism, and global literary theory, she aims to develop a critical framework for rethinking East and West’s literary and cultural relations. Her publications include English Romanticism in East Asia (Romantic Circles Praxis Series 2016), “Keats via Kim Yeong-Nang, or How the Romantics Have Never Been Western” (European Romantic Review 2020), “East, West, and the Afterlife of British Romanticism in East Asia” (Keats-Shelley Journal 2019), and “When Theory Meets the World: Kant’s Post-Revolutionary Renegotiation of the Cosmopolitan Ideal” (European Romantic Review 2010). From 2020 through 2022, she served on the advisory board of the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism.
