Professor Robert Havard is a Senior Research Fellow who has taught at the universities of California (Los Angeles), Auckland, Cardiff, Liverpool and Aberystwyth.  He has written mainly on twentieth-century Spanish culture, focusing on Surrealism, the 1927 Generation of poets and, more recently, the line from Goya to Picasso and Dalí.  He is interested in the dynamics of perception in the context of the visual image, also in the impact of socio-political events on the arts.  A published poet, he is the author of 11 books and some 40 articles, and he is currently preparing a monograph on Spanish Surrealist Art.  His most recent work includes:

The Spanish Eye.  Painters and Poets of Spain (London: Tamesis, 2007).
