I work on French poetry from the C19th onwards, in particular questions of rhythm and form, as well as cultural identity more broadly. I look at how aesthetic value is constructed through negotiation between writers, readers, publishers and reviewers, and how the idea of poetry in France evolves from Romanticism to the present day.
