My current research project is called Dante and the Work of Words: A Poetic Lexicon of the Divine Comedy, which looks at Dante’s remarkable harnessing of the vernacular, and how it powers the poem. This book is under contract with Princeton University Press.
I am interested in the material circulation of Trecento literature, in particular early manuscripts of the Comedìa. The first part of this research has been published in Dante Studies 133 (2015), 147-176, and further work on the rubrics devised by Boccaccio in the last of his copies of the Comedìa, MS Chig L VI 213, has appeared in Le Tre Corone VI (2019), 69-106.
