Books in progress

I am currently working on two book projects—one about counterfactual feminist literary experiments, and another about old women—while wrapping up the final editorial stages of Contemporary Queer Modernism, an edited collection to be published by Routledge in 2025. This volume will be the first comprehensive collection of scholarship on the current scope and future directions of queer modernist studies. Although queer theory entered the academy just before the "new" and "bad" modernisms of the early 21st-century exploded and revised the purview of modernist studies, there has yet to appear a large-scale reference work addressing the mutual influences and intersections of modernism, sexuality, and queer theory. It should be impossible to think about modernism without thinking about queer sexuality. This volume provides a foundational collection of research into these intertwined fields of study that will become invaluable to scholars and students in a range of disciplines.

Digital Projects

• (with Anna Preus) The Paris Project: a digital edition of Hope Mirrlees’s “Paris: A Poem” (1919/1920), which was printed in a run of 175 copies by Leonard and Virginia Woolf’s Hogarth Press. This project is in development at the Humanities Digital Workshop of Washington University in St. Louis.
