I am a graduate of the Editorial Institute at Boston University and am currently the Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Humanities at the University of Maine. I specialize in 19th and 20th century literature, focusing on American expatriate writing, New England Transcendentalism, Herman Melville, modernism, Paul Bowles, textual studies, and print and digital scholarly editing. I am also a contributing editor to the Melville Electronic Library and Melville's Marginalia Online, and developing a web site devoted to the critical study of biography.
