- About Me
Associate Professor of English, Auburn University.
Associate Director of 18thConnect.org, a major open-source peer-reviewed aggregator of materials on and about the eighteenth-century.I’m a scholar and critic who wants to understand reading experiences from readers past, present, and future. This fascination has taken me to study the language of smell, the work of recovered women writers, and most recently never-published manuscript fiction. I believe that book history and digital scholarship work beautifully together, that librarians and archivists are invaluable collaborators, and that hands-on experience of research is an important component of student learning.
