A literary historian afflicted with historian-envy, I'm now trekking my therapeutic way out of the nineteenth century and toward the early twentieth. The author I used to teach most in the department's single-author series was Emily Dickinson, but the author I teach most these days is James Joyce. I also write a blog about language and photography.
