The primary focus of my scholarship is the Italian Renaissance Epic, a genre of narrative poetry that blossomed in the 16th century, and that arguably ushered in modern literature by adapting the tradition of ancient Greek and Latin epic to the modern world.  I have also published articles on various facets of the fascinating literature of Italian Jews from the 17th to the 20th centuries.  I am interested in the study and practice of translation, particularly of poetry and dramatic texts.  I have also dabbled in the digital humanities, building, together with student researchers, the Orlando Furioso Atlas: https://www.furiosoatlas.com/
