Research Interests
American and transatlantic literature, especially 1600-1800.
My publications include a book on American puritan poetry and articles on early American lyric, colonial responses to mastodon teeth, commonplace books, Shakespeare in America, and the literature of revolution.
I also work on modern US literature and culture, including the art and poetry of Mina Loy, and twentieth-century representations of homelessness in poetry, fiction and the visual arts.
