Many of the courses I teach incorporate my interest in world literature and my principal area of research which is literary modernism particularly in relation to the arts. I've published articles on Willa Cather, Virginia Woolf, William Butler Yeats, and Ezra Pound. Other publications include essays, book reviews, and poetry.
