I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Pennsylvania where I study English literature. As you can see, I refuse to refer to myself in the third person, despite the persistent trend. My work has centered around the long Eighteenth Century on both sides of the Atlantic , with particular emphasis on British Romanticism and radical culture. How did I get here? Well, after four years at Union College in Schenectady, NY, I  eventually found my way to the University of York, where I completed an MA in English and the History of Art at the  Centre for 18th-Century Studies. Currently I reside in lovely Philadelphia, not too far from some of the best historical archives in the country. Among other duties, I help coordinate Penn's 18th Century Reading Group, and when not roaming the stacks at Van Pelt Library, you can often find me at the McNeil Center for Early American Studies.

Check out the William Blake Archive for your daily fix of Heaven and Hell. Like to row? I often find myself at odd hours plying the waters of the Schyulkill River.
For some serious fun check out the Doonesbury Town Hall.
