Biographical note
Duncan Wu is Raymond A. Wagner Professor of Literary Studies at Georgetown University, Washington, DC. He has also been a Professor at the University of Glasgow (1995-2000) and St Catherine's College, Oxford (2000-2008). He has published a number of books about the Romantic poets and is best known for Romanticism: An Anthology, which will proceed to its fifth edition in 2024. He has also written reviews and feature articles for The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and The Independent. Origin Myths is his first poetry collection.
In 2011 Duncan Wu moved into the forests of northern Virginia in a place largely unchanged since the Civil War. Here, he learnt, indigenous people had once lived in considerable numbers but at some point after the War all had disappeared. Contemporary documents held in local archives provided no explanation although they confirmed all indigenous settlements had gone from the area by 1778. He would learn a good deal more by walking through the wilds of northern Virginia with his dog Dakota, who would guide him to the places that witnessed the end of Powhatan and his people.
