ABOUT ME
I am the former director of the Press and Professor of English emeritus at Bucknell University, Pennsylvania. Under my guidance (1996-2018) the Bucknell Press became one of the great, small academic presses, distinguished, among other things, for its Transits series (eighteenth-century studies), New Studies in the Age of Goethe, Campos Ibericos, and Apercus: Histories Texts Cultures. As a scholar I have published many 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. After a lifetime of reading, teaching, and writing about literature, I'm sure that the study of language, literature, and history not only prepares us to participate productively and responsibly in civil society, but that it is also one of the great and enduring pleasures of life.

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.
