My field of specialization is 19th century British literature, especially Romantic poetry; in my research I concentrate on the British response to the French Revolution in the 1790s, including philosophical and political writing as well as imaginative literature.  Currently I am focusing on Wordsworth’s narrative poetry in relation to the debates of the 1790s; I have presented elements of that work in conference papers on Wordsworth's "The Old Cumberland Beggar," "Michael," and The Borderers.
