With the recent completion of the new Companion to Jane Austen, my work in Jane Austen studies continues. I have ongoing work on Austen and temporality solicited for a humanities journal affiliated with Oxford University and am submitting this year a book proposal titled Keywords of Jane Austen's fiction. I am also at work on a new edition of The Secret Garden. My research interests have recently expanded into the early years of the 20th century, thanks to work with students on the literature of the flu epidemic and to women's literature around WWI.
