I am a classicist and a literary critic, and my primary interests are in poetic form, its worldmaking means, and its ethical implications. I have written books about the literary and scholarly reception of Pindar in antiquity, and about the poetic configuration of temporal experience in the Hellenistic poet Apollonius of Rhodes. Alongside my ongoing work on these and other ancient authors, my current critical preoccupations centre on P. B. Shelley’s Hellenism, and the figuration of landscape in occidental poetry and art from Homer to Housman.
