Publications
I enjoy spending time in rare books rooms and combing through archives. Like any inveterate researcher, I am elated when I find that proverbial needle in the haystack. I view myself as being part of a contemporary community of scholars in dialogue with one another, and also as part of a legacy of learning that stretches back for centuries. Whether writing a monograph, chapter for a collection, encyclopedia entry, or book review, I am guided by both a sense of obligation to the profession and personal integrity. I publish my findings with the hope of advancing higher scholarly endeavor by alerting readers to a variety of compelling ways to recover and think about time-tried literary structures—and perhaps even perennial human issues as well, most notably the tricky nature of memory and how, historically, we have responded to the certain knowledge of our mortality.
