Areas of Research:

My main area of research is the German literature of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, especially the reception and interpretation of the classical legacy by writers of that period. I am currently working on a book describing the poetical representation of social and political conflict in the age of Napoleon. I have also published on pedagogical topics in the areas of business German and second language acquisition.
