Biography
My primary line of research is in reception studies, in particular classical reception of modern and contemporary literature. In this work, I try to explicate fascinating examples of classical reception in experimental literature, especially in the work of authors who are generally considered to disown the past and reject their continuity with it. Outside of literature in English, I am interested in various topics in philosophy, including rule-following and intentionality, as well as literature in the classical period, late antiquity, and the Middle Ages. I am currently preparing a dual-language version of Chaucer's translation of Boethius' Consolatio philosophiae, containing both Chaucer's Middle English and the original Latin, for Contubernales.
