I work primarily on British literature of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the Romantic period, with particular focus on prose fiction, Scottish literature, and literary representations of poverty. My theoretical specializations include the environmental humanities \u2014 especially animal studies \u2014, post-humanism, and post-structuralism. My recent and forthcoming work relates to economic theory, aesthetics, the emergent sciences of perceptual physiology, and the eighteenth-century reorganization of social, political, and organic life as livestock.
