Henry Barlow is an English literature scholar from Sydney. He holds two degrees from the University of Sydney, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours with University Medal) in Philosophy and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. He now tries to answer the questions that interested him in philosophy through the more concrete form of literature and is completing his third degree at the University of Sydney, a Master of Philosophy. For his Master’s thesis he is examining temporality in the landmark work of modernist literature, James Joyce’s Ulysses. With his Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship, he will undertake a Doctor of Philosophy in English at the University of Oxford and continue his study of Ulysses, focusing on the conflict between different economic forms and its production history. In the future, Henry hopes to teach and research literature at Australian universities demonstrating the complex ways in which literature engages with the sociopolitical world.
