Sean Seeger

Sean Seeger is Senior Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Literature at the University of Essex.

He has published widely on literature, film, and cultural theory. His main areas of interest are twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature; speculative fiction; utopian studies; and queer studies.

His first book, Nonlinear Temporality in Joyce and Walcott: History Repeating Itself with a Difference (2017), explores the role of time in James Joyce and Derek Walcott, and was the first comparative study of their work. His second book, Utopian Variations: Utopia in Literature, Film, and Popular Culture (2025), considers forms of utopia and utopianism that have received less attention from utopian scholars. A sequel, Dystopian Variations, is currently underway.
