Area of Specialization
American literature, most especially from the beginnings to 1900; critical theory; cultural studies

Since my approach is informed by both critical theory and cultural studies, I am working on the relationship between these models. Specifically, I am currently interested in thinking about how such categories as race, class, gender, etc. inflect the interpretation of texts and how these categories themselves are inflected by our notions of literature, language, representation, etc. At present I am revising a book length manuscript of and on American Library History. It's working title is Remembering America: Captivity the Making of American Literature from Anne Hutchinson to Watt, Bumpa.
