My teaching has hitherto concentrated on two historical survey courses, British Literature I and II, which cover literature from the fourteenth to the twentieth century. I have also taught, in the summer, a course called A Linguistic Approach to Literature. My research interests have centered on Milton (<em>Milton\u2019s Style: The Shorter Poems, \u2018Paradise Regained\u2019, and \u2018Samson Agonistes\u2019<\/em>, Longman, 1981), and on poets A. E. Housman, Philip Larkin, and T. S. Eliot.\u00a0 In the case of these last three, I have produced scholarly editions with commentaries or notes: <em>The Poems of A. E. Housman <\/em>(Oxford English Texts edition, 1997), <em>The Letters of A. E. Housman <\/em>(2 volumes, Oxford, 2007), <em>Philip Larkin: The Complete Poems <\/em>(Faber, 2012), and <em>The Collected Prose of T. S. Eliot <\/em>(4 volumes, Faber, 2024). In addition, I have published many articles on Milton and Housman in scholarly journals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12176,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6341"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12176"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6341\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10125,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/6341\/revisions\/10125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
