In the summer term 2024, I substitute as interim professor of English Literature for Professor Monika Fludernik at the University of Freiburg.
I teach English Literature at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich and specialize in transatlantic literatures and rhetorical cultures since the early eighteenth century. I am currently working on a book project on invisible characters in literary narratives since 1700. My first book on The Figures of Edgar Allan Poe: Authorship, Antebellum Literature, and Transatlantic Rhetoric came out in 2017 with DeGruyter. My work has also appeared in such venues as Forum for Modern Language Studies, Scholarly Editing, Journal for the Study of British Cultures, Anglistik, and Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik. I make as much of my work available as I can on this website but if you miss something, please let me know.
