RESEARCH INTERESTS:

I am currently finishing a book about the early nineteenth-century English poet John Clare and a series of articles examining how Victorian poets explored the relation between knowledge and sense experience. In both projects, I've been interested in the interaction between observed and described sounds on the one hand and linguistic sound patterning on the other.

My next project examines nineteenth-century English poets who were members of the professions--lawyers, scientists, clergymen, etc.
