Research interests

My primary areas of research are Latin literature, particularly of the Late Republic (and especially Lucretius), textual criticism, codicology and the history of scholarship. I am currently preparing a monograph of my doctoral thesis (2010) on the manuscript transmission of Lucretius’ de rerum natura, constructing a repertory of Lucretian conjectures, editing a volume of collected essays on Varro Reatinus, and producing the new Oxford Classical Text of Lucretius. I also edit the Housman Society Journal.
