Jonathan Locke Hart is a Canadian poet, literary scholar and historian who has lived in the United States, the United Kingdom and France as well as Canada. Trained at the University of Toronto and the University of Cambridge, Hart has held visiting appointments at Harvard University, Princeton University, Toronto, Cambridge and elsewhere and has given readings and lectures in many countries. Hart's poetry has appeared in Harvard Review, Grain, Mattoid, and he has published books of poetry, such as Breath and Dust, Dream China and Dream Salvage. He has written extensively on Shakespeare (for instance, Theater and World), on literary theory (Northrop Frye), and on history, especially on empire and on the expansion of Europe (for example, Representing the New World, and Empires and Colonies). His poetry often explores the psychology of landscape and a sense of loss and exile. A central concern of his creative work and non-fiction is the relation between history and fictions (literary and legal). For many years, Hart has split his time between the UK and Canada as his family lives in both places.
