Udith is a Postdoctoral Fellow affiliated with the Department of Literature.

His research is broadly concerned with the convergence of ideology, masculinity, and technology within literary and artistic culture in twentieth century Modernism. The English writer and painter Wyndham Lewis is the central figure in this project, owing to his knowledge of, and engagement with, the literary cultures of other European countries, and his often prescient and voluminous critical writings on a variety of social and political subjects. In this talk, Udith gave a brief account of Lewis's life and career - and provided some insights into Lewis’s experience of technological warfare whilst serving as an artillery officer during the First World War, and how this encounter left an indelible mark upon all of Lewis’s subsequent work.
