My main areas of interest are Modern British and War literature, though I have dabbled with Milton and Austen as well. My tendency is to stumble across something that interests me, no matter the area, and follow up on it. Hence, for my sins, currently I have a Wordsworth paper in the works. If that doesn’t get an eon or so cut from my sentence in Purgatory, nothing will.
