James Wood works on eighteenth-century and romantic literature, with a focus on the connections between literature and sociability. His first book Anecdotes of Enlightenment explores the role conversational anecdotes play in the literature and philosophy of the Enlightenment. In his second book Friendship and the Anglo-Irish Writer, 1680-1750 he is investigating how Irish Protestant writers in the eighteenth-century use the idea and practice of friendship to redefine their relationship with England.
