Instructor of English, University of Mississippi 

PhD in English, Yale University, 2024

BA in English and Classics, Washington University in St. Louis, 2016

I am a scholar of early modern literature and an Instructor of English at the University of Mississippi. My research investigates style, artifice, and classical reception broadly conceived, asking how early modern poets and playwrights turned their ideas of the past into new kinds of aesthetic objects. My first book project grows out of my dissertation, "The Anxiety of Artifice: Translation and Style in Early Modern England," which examines how translators of Greek and Latin used translation to address questions of literary style. 

I am also a translator myself with interests in Latin poetry; you can read one of my translations here.

While my current book project looks at the translation of epic, I'm interested in style and artifice quite broadly and I have a longstanding interest in early modern revenge tragedy and theatrical violence that pushes the boundary between tragedy and parody. 

I come from Kansas City, MO.
