RESEARCH INTERESTS:

My primary interests are American women's writing, women's poetry, transatlantic modernism, the literature of domesticity, literature and the visual arts, and late nineteenth century and early twentieth century American writings on architecture, urban planning, immigration and housing reform. Major authors of interest include Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Louisa May Alcott, Henry James, Gertrude Stein, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, Nella Larsen, Willa Cather, Elizabeth Bishop and Gwendolyn Brooks.

My current research involves a series of essays on the modern American poet, Marianne Moore, which include exploration of the significance of photography to her poetry, her reworking of the tradition of the English house poem, and her development of a self-contradictory, recursive and quotational style in her essays (a practice I see as indebted to the essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson). Other projects include an article-length study of nervousness and American architecture in the writings of Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Jacob Riis, Jane Addams, Frank Lloyd Wright and Willa Cather; and an article on anger, eroticism and cross-racial sympathy in the fiction of Louisa May Alcott. In addition, I am currently working on a book-length study of the responses of nineteenth and twentieth century American women writers to the work of Ralph Waldo Emerson, which includes such figures as Margaret Fuller, Louisa May Alcott, Emily Dickinson, Kate Chopin, Jane Addams, Gertrude Stein, Willa Cather, Marianne Moore, Elizabeth Bishop, Marilynne Robinson and Lyn Hejinian.

My work ranges from explorations of the gendering of language and form in women's poetry to investigations of the intersections between literature and social and material history (which gets me into such topics as the relations between domestic fiction and American architectural reforms, the connections between quotational poetry and various kinds of collecting practices, and the influence of portrait photography on modern conceptions of authorship). In recent years I have been teaching courses which combine art historical and photographic materials with both canonical and popular literature and various kinds of materials about social and cultural history. I continue to teach modern poetry courses on a regular basis and my approach in these classes is historical (to what political, social, and technological developments were poets responding?), formal (with what kinds of language and structures?) and eclectic (what sort of arguments and conversations were happening between the realists, regionalists, socialists, feminists, aesthetes, imagists, objectivists and "high modernists"?).
