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. The first part of this research has now appeared as Dante’s Divine Comedy: A Reading Guide (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2024).
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. And for some new work on Chaucer’s engagement with the materiality of the Trecento, see my ‘Chaucer’s Italian Books: A Study in Virtual Materiality’, Studi sul Boccaccio 51 (2023), 361-394.
