Research Interests

Essays on Louisa May Alcott and on Henry David Thoreau for Student Encyclopedia of Great American Writers reflect an interest in other Nineteenth Century Writers

Another different interest: the Women of the Beat Movement

And wildly different from all this: history of one of the churches of the District of Columbia, which is really a study of the city itself.
