Samuel Sargeant

Samuel Sargeant taught English Literature and Creative Writing at Cardiff University as part of his doctoral degree programme where his PhD thesis focused upon the structure of Medieval Icelandic sagas and its applicability to the modern thriller genre. He now lectures at the Cardiff University International Study Centre, specialising in Medieval Literature and Philosophy.  His research interests include the presentation of visual psychosis in medieval literature and how Creative Writing practices can prove a useful tool for processing visual psychosis. Working in conjunction with psychologists from the CNTW Foundation Trust, he saw his first publication in Back to Life, Back to Normality Vol.2 (2019), and now continues to help explore the nature of visual psychosis and attempt to create useful mechanisms for its management.
