I’ve written a book about nineteenth century lyric, and a guide to reading poems, as well as a number of chapters and essays on poets in English from Shakespeare onward.

At the moment I am editing a number of volumes: an Oxford World’s Classics edition of Thomas Lovell Beddoes’s Death’s Jest-Book and Other Writings, Oxford Handbooks of William Cowper (with Jessica Fay, Birmingham) and Romantic Poetry (with Matthew Scott, Reading), and (with Will Bowers (QMUL) and Oliver Clarkson (Oxford)) a new three-volume edition of The Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley for Oxford University Press. 

I have organised conferences on the origins and legacies of Romantic writing and thought and on rhyme in English Poetry.

I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
