Paul Giles is Challis Professor of English at the University of Sydney. He has worked at the Universities of Nottingham, Cambridge, Oxford, and Portland State and he is currently serving as President of the International Association of University Professors of English.
Always challenging conventional wisdom and armed with an impressively vast archive of primary source material, Giles's work consistently expands the scope and scale of contemporary cultural analysis...The threads of reciprocal relation that Giles weaves together provocatively reframe both postmodernism and the antipodean in insightful and innovative ways...In illuminating the antipodean imaginary that runs through postmodernism, The Planetary Clock makes an important and innovative contribution to our understanding of that historical moment. * Mitchum Huehls, University of California, Los Angeles, ALH Online Review * Giles never fails to astonish and impress with his comprehensiveness and percipience, the products of a superb ability to research and synthesise... One of the effects of this remarkable and erudite book is to convince the scholar of world literature that Antipodean cultural production is not just something worth their while but is at the very base of an informed contemporary conception of what world literature should be We are lucky to have such a book as The Planetary Clock: erudite, opinionated, congenial, inclusive, and no doubt, in the future, stimulating of many other explorations in such modes. * Nicholas Birns, Journal of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature *
