I am originally from the UK. I have lived in the United States for many years. I have two college-aged children and three dogs. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family and going to the theater.
I have broad teaching interests: including 19th and early 20th century literature; 18th century British and American literature; American Jewish literature and 19th century Jewish literature; holocaust literature; Greek and Roman literature, arts, and culture. I also love to teach writing, including creative writing.
