This page is designed for the benefit of Acadia students seeking information about courses.

I currently teach primarily first-year literature and mediaeval literature, as well as courses on Epic Tradition and Tolkien, although the latter two are not offered every year. In both teaching and research my principal areas of expertise and interest are mediaeval literature, especially the mediaeval Arthurian tradition and Middle English romance, genre theory, and epic and heroic literature. I have published on these topics in such journals as the Bulletin Bibliographique de la Societe Internationale Arthurienne, Reading Medieval Studies, Parergon, and Year’s Work in English Studies. Details about my courses can be found in the links on the left.
