Research Interests

I work on twentieth-century prose and poetry, with a particular interest in the correlation between modernist aesthetics and the life sciences of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. My current project, “The Rhythmic Feminism of Modernist Poetry,” traces the correspondence between the concept of rhythm in early twentieth-century theories of physiology and the experimental poetic rhythms of modernist women poets like Mina Loy, Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven, and Lola Ridge. These days I am also preparing my first monograph, a study of birds, ornithology, and love in the novels of D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and Ford Madox Ford, based on my doctoral dissertation.

My work has been published in The Journal of Modern Literature and Modernist Cultures.
