About
I recently received my Ph.D. from the Department of Classics at UC Berkeley, and I currently hold a visiting position at the University of Arkansas.
My work, in broad terms, examines the use of myth in Latin poetry. I demonstrate different ways in which Roman poets' engagement with material drawn from a flexible tradition, composed of competing and sometimes contradictory versions of myth, can illuminate their poetic purpose. Combining close reading with both focused and synoptic views of mythology, my methods present an approach to mythological poetry that comes squarely to terms with mythic variation as a significant textual strategy. The result is a version of intertextuality where the "text" at issue is, in effect, the complete body of myth.
My current main project is a monograph on Valerius Flaccus' "Argonautica" that considers the implications of the multiple structural and thematic forms of doubling which pervade the "Argonautica".
