Alan Douglas Vardy earned a PhD from the University of Washington in 1996.

His research areas include British Romanticism and Modernism. He has published articles on the English peasant poet John Clare in the John Clare Society Journal and contributed a chapter to the volume John Clare: New Approaches. His research on Samuel Taylor Coleridge has been published in The Coleridge Bulletin, and his chapter, "Her Father's Remains" on Sara Coleridge's editing of her father's works will appear in Nervous Reactions: Victorian Responses to Romantic Writers (SUNY Press, 2003). Palgrave Press will publish his book John Clare, Politics and Poetry, in autumn 2003. With David Baulch, he is preparing an edition of the verse dramas of Thomas Lovell Beddoes (under consideration by Broadview Publishers).

He has begun research for a book on the posthumous editing of Coleridge, with the goal of establishing how the Coleridge we know was created by a series of family editors in response to shifting social circumstances.
