Peter Xu, Bangor University: Peter Jingcheng Xu completed his PhD at the School of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics, Bangor University, UK in January 2018. His doctoral research situates the twentieth-century Anglophone-Welsh poet Edward Thomas within the ecological framework of Chinese indigenous philosophy Daoism in pursuit of their unexpected ecological affinities and insights that inform our responses to the deteriorating Earth in the Anthropocene. His research interest involves Anthropocenic ecocriticism, Translation Studies, English Translation of Chinese Classics, British literature, and Chinese literature. He is also a poet and translator. He has translated into Chinese context many contemporary British poets, such as Gillian Clarke, Jason Walford Davies, Ian Gregson, Robert Minhinnick and Emily Critchley, and into English a wide spectrum of Chinese literary texts (both ancient and contemporary). His translation works and reviews are published in some key journals, such as Foreign Literature and Art, The World of English, and Journal of World Chinese Studies. He has until now co-edited five English textbooks for Chinese university students, with Intellectual Property Publishing House, Peking University Press, and Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. He has published several book chapters and book reviews with some key presses and journals, involving Lexington Books, Palgrave Macmillan, Modern Language Review, and Perspective: Studies in Translation Theory and Practice.
