Research Interests
Prof. Hegglund is currently at work on a book-length manuscript about the relationship between the spatial aesthetics of the modernist novel and the emergence of a "scientific" geography in late nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain. He is particularly interested in how both fiction and cartography use imaginative elements to connect local, regional, national, and international senses of cultural identity.
Teaching Interests
Prof. Hegglund's primary teaching interests are in twentieth-century British and Anglophone postcolonial literatures. He also teaches courses in film studies and critical theory.
