Daria Santini

She holds a PhD in German Literature from the University of Pisa, was an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow at the University of Munich, and taught German Language and Literature at the University of Oxford (St. Hilda’s and Magdalen Colleges) for fifteen years until 2010. She now lives between London and Puglia, Southern Italy, and works as an independent scholar and writer.

Daria’s work defies easy categorisation. A literary scholar by training, she has developed a deep passion for biography and cultural history, and her writing is marked by meticulous research, stylistic clarity and a sure narrative instinct.
