Biography

Corey is from Dumfries and Galloway. He was awarded his PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2012, for which he was awarded the G. Ross Roy Medal. His book, The Voice of the People: Hamish Henderson and Scottish Cultural Politics (EUP, 2015) was shortlisted for the Saltire Research Book of the Year. In 2012-13, Corey was a Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Edinburgh. And in 2013-14 he was a UK-US Fulbright Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. In 2017-18, he was a Research Fellow and Visiting Scholar at the University of Virginia. Between 2014-18 he was Assistant Professor of Modern English Literature at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In 2018 Corey was appointed as Lecturer in Twentieth-Century Scottish Literature at Glasgow.

Corey is the editor of Hamish Henderson's Collected Poems (Polygon, 2019), and the author of articles and book chapters on balladry and critical theory; extremism and poiesis; war poetry; anonyms and the folk process; class and nationalism; flyting; and folk revivalism.
