Fabio Ciambella is full-time Research Fellow of English Language and Translation at Sapienza University of Rome. Previously, he was a Research Fellow of English Language and Translation at the University of Tuscia, Viterbo, Italy and Junior Research Fellow at the same university. He received his European PhD in English Language and Literature from the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” (2015). His privileged fields of research include the relationship between dance and early modern and Victorian literature and language, historical pragmatics, corpus linguistics, and Second Language Acquisition, topics about which he has published extensively. In 2013 he published a book about dance in nineteenth-century England (from Jane Austen’s novels to Oscar Wilde’s Salome). In 2016 his PhD thesis was awarded by the Italian Association of English Studies (AIA) and his study about dance and the Copernican Revolution in Shakespeare’s canon was published the following year. His latest book, Dance Lexicon in Shakespeare and His Contemporaries: A Corpus-based Approach (Routledge, 2021), is a corpus-based analysis of dance-related lexis in the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
