Peter Miller

Peter Miller is the Ottilie Schillig Chair and an assistant professor of English at the University of Mississippi. His first book, Poetry, Sound, and the Matter of Prosody, 1800-2000, was published in 2025 by Oxford University Press. He is currently working on two new book projects. The first studies a group of contemporary anglophone poets who have reimagined canonical western texts within global and postcolonial frameworks. The second considers the role poetry has played in the modern novel, from Bram Stoker’s Dracula to Zadie Smith’s On Beauty. Essays from these and other projects have appeared in journals including PMLA, Critical Inquiry, Modern Language Quarterly, ELH, and Modern Philology.
