Dr Chambers is an associate professor at the University of Warsaw where he recently received a two-year grant to research modernist bookshops and their networks at the University of Reading.

He has written on literary networks and publishing history in Modernism, Periodicals, and Cultural Poetics (Palgrave 2015) and in London and the Modernist Bookshop (Cambridge 2020). His most recent research looks to build out from my last monograph to explore the social, political, and literary roles bookshops played in the early decades of the twentieth century.

He is a member of the Bookselling Research Network, and editor of the peer-reviewed journal The New Americanist, which will soon be available from Edinburgh University Press.
