I came to the University of Alberta in 1996. My primary research area is Latin literature of the early Empire. My secondary research area is the Classical tradition in twentieth-century Britain, particularly in the writings of Vita Sackville-West. Current projects include an article on the presentation of Medea in Valerius Flaccus and an article on the use of Latin and Greek in Sackville-West's poem The Garden.
