Dr Nathaniel Mark Zetter

Nathaniel Zetter is an Academic Associate at Pembroke College, Cambridge, where he teaches modern and contemporary literature, critical theory, film, and visual culture. Since completing his PhD at Cambridge, he has also been a Teaching Associate at Queens' and Selwyn, as well as a Director of Studies in English at Pembroke. His research focuses primarily on modern and contemporary war literature, with further interests in the way literature has represented the rise of digital technology, and in the history of literary theory.

Nathaniel's teaching uses close reading as a guide to addressing larger questions of theory and history. Students are invited to reflect critically on their responses not only to literary texts, but also to the categories commonly used to make sense of them. Such reflection often involves drawing on a wide variety of both critical and popular materials, in addition to traditional literary forms.
