Prof. Mueller’s main area of special interest is the literature and culture of the long eighteenth century in Britain. He has published extensively on the non-novelistic works of Daniel Defoe (1660-1731), especially Defoe’s verse. His more recent research activities have included a contribution to a new edition of Defoe’s correspondence for Cambridge University Press (Lead Editor: Dr Nicholas Seager), co-editing an essay collection entitled Robinson CrusoeAfter 300 Years (with Prof Glynis Ridley, Bucknell University Press), and contributing an essay on postmemory and transgenerational trauma in Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year to the forthcoming University of Nebraska Press volume Early Modern Trauma, edited E. Peters & C. Richards. An additional area of interest is the literary criticism of the eighteenth-century Bishop of Worcester, Richard Hurd (1720-1808). His wider research and teaching interests include critical theory (especially historicism), the material culture of eighteenth-century libraries, and the intersections between literary studies and Digital Humanities, and the regulatory function of gratitude in eighteenth-century British society and culture.
