Current Research Interests/Projects My research and teaching focuses on the literary culture of America in the colonial and antebellum periods. I have particular interest in the novel, the history of the book, African-American writing, and visual and material culture. I am currently at work on a book manuscript about the impact of book illustration on literary writing in the United States between 1770 and 1830. With William Huntting Howell (Boston University), I am also working on an edition of Frank J. Webb’s The Garies and Their Friends (1857) for Broadview Press. My work has appeared in Early American Literature, Common-place, and Literature in the Early American Republic, and has been supported, most recently, by grants from the American Antiquarian Society, the Newberry Library, and the American Philosophical Society.
