Prof. Brooks attained his DPhil (PhD) in Medieval English Literature at the University of Oxford. His research centres on early medieval English literature (both Old English and Anglo-Latin) and the environmental humanities, with increasing focus on the blue humanities. His publications include his 2019 monograph Restoring Creation: The Natural World in the Anglo-Saxon Saints' Lives of Cuthbert and Guthlac, the edited collection Global Perspectives on Early Medieval England, as well as a number of articles, including several stemming from his recently completed Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) grant project Early Medieval Soundscapes. These include ‘The Sound-World of Early Medieval England: A Case Study of the Exeter Book Storm Riddle’, a book chapter in Ideas of the World in Early Medieval England, and most recently, ‘Sonic Journeys on the Open Sea: Testing the Faithful in Old English and Anglo-Latin Literature’, in the journal The Review of English Studies. He has just begun a five-year research project, also supported by a grant from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), titled Knowing Oceans: The Early Medieval English North Sea, which will investigate human interaction with the North Sea in the British Archipelago throughout the early Medieval period (c. 500–1200).
