ABOUT ME
Visiting Research Professor for 2022-23 at The Pennsylvania State University's Humanities Institute, University Park, Pa.
Emeritus Professor of English and Director of the University Press at Bucknell University, Pennsylvania, I am an independent writer and editor. My New Cambridge Companion to Samuel Johnson for Cambridge is forthcoming in September 2022. I am working on another book of essays on Johnson for Lehigh University Press, and on a book on the art and writing of Lady Anne Lindsay Barnard (1750-1825) at the Cape of Good Hope, 1797-1802. Additionally, I have published other books and essays on Dryden, Johnson, Boswell, Sir George Macartney, Lady Anne Barnard, memory, translation, historiography, law & literature, Orientalism, and East-West relations in the enlightenment.
Under my direction the Bucknell University Press became one of the great, small academic presses, distinguished, among other things, for eighteenth-century studies (Transits: Literature, Thought, and Culture, Bucknell Studies in 18th-Century Literature and Culture, and New Studies in the Age of Goethe). My new book series with Clemson University Press -- Eighteenth-Century Moments -- is publishing new scholarship in literature, history, and culture, 1650-1850.
My contribution to eighteenth-century studies has been recognised in A Clubbable Man: Essays on Eighteenth-Century Literature and Culture in Honor of Greg Clingham, edited by Anthony W. Lee (2022).

CONSULTING & LECTURING
As an editor and director at a small but vibrant university press I hosted workshops on academic publishing and proposal writing, and I am available now to help others think through and plan how to meet the challenges facing academic and independent publishers under changing circumstances. As a scholar and teacher I am available to lecture and facilitate short courses on a wide range of authors and issues spanning the years 1650 and 1850 (including Johnson, Boswell, Lady Anne Barnard, Austen, Dickens, and Tolstoy), landscape & literature, law & literature, travel, British-China relations, and the Cape of Good Hope in the eighteenth- and early-nineteenth centuries.
