About
I am researching the rise of literary critical methodology in the 18th Century, as well as ideologies of method in general. For me, such a problem lies at the intersection of literary theory (where I work with deconstruction, structuralist poetics, Marxism, the sociology of literature), philosophy (Derrida, phenomenology, Locke, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel), and the production of literature itself (especially the rise of the novel and Romantic poetry). Ultimately, I am interested in historicizing literary criticism, and so Coleridge is always in need of explanation. I also enjoy looking at the early New Criticism, especially I.A. Richards. One of the recent twists on my project involves thinking about collective critical projects, so Marxist and Feminist literary criticism have become important for me.
