Professional Interests
I have published in various formats on the history and theory of literary study, including essays, reviews, bibliographies, translations and entries in reference works. I also have strong interests in philosophy (especially the philosophy of language) and in classics (especially the history of the classical tradition). As a generalist by vocation, after a few drinks I will admit that my central interest is in literature as a whole.Selected Publications
