My research and teaching interests are focused on Nineteenth-Century British literature, particularly Victorian fiction, though my teaching responsibilities at ASU have provided me the opportunity to teach a variety of survey courses, both British and American literature, as well as courses in literary and cultural theory.

I have edited Broadview Press scholarly editions of two Wilkie Collins novels: his masterpiece of early detective fiction, The Moonstone (1868), and his late-century anti-vivisectionist tale, Heart and Science (1886). In addition to my work with Collins, I am interested in fin de siècle “New Woman” fiction and have edited a Broadview Press scholarly edition of Ella Hepworth Dixon’s novel The Story of a Modern Woman (1894).
