Alex Bubb (University of Oxford)
Alex Bubb read English at Christ Church, Oxford before taking a Masters course in South Asian History. He researched the stereotypical representation of Irish soldiers in India and its ideological underpinnings, and analysed how Irishmen negotiated their identity within colonial regimental culture. His dissertation is awaiting publication in Modern Asian Studies. He has now returned to the English Faculty to pursue the DPhil and is at Exeter College, Oxford. His current research is a comparative study of Rudyard Kipling and W.B. Yeats as parallel literary lives and is entitled The Last Romantics. His real ambition, however, is to speak Hindi well enough to drive a Bombay taxi.
