Assistant Professor
 My teaching and research interests include Restoration and Eighteenth-Century British literature, Shakespeare, satire, research methods, and the history of the book. My current research examines the intersection of manuscript and print in some of Jonathan Swift’s most important poems. Publications related to this project have appeared in SEL: Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 and Representations of Swift, ed. Brian Connery (Delaware, 2002). I am also a co-editor with James Woolley and John Irwin Fischer of the electronic archive The Swift Poems Project, which catalogs all poems by or related to Jonathan Swift and his circle up through the early nineteenth century.
I have recently received a Summer Stipend Fellowship
from the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Irish-American
Research Travel Fellowship from the American Society for Eighteenth-Century
Studies; and the Richard H. Rodino Prize from the Ehrenpreis Center
for Swift Studies in Münster, Germany.
