Ph.D. University of Virginia

Research and Teaching Interests:
Sixteenth-century French literature, history of the book in early modern France, Internet and digital technology as tools for research and teaching in the Humanities.

As Director of the Gordon Project, a collaborative endeavor of the French Department and the University of Virginia Library, I am fortunate to be able to pursue all of the interests listed above simultaneously.

"The Renaissance in Print: Sixteenth-Century French Books in the Douglas H. Gordon Collection" Underway since 2003, the Gordon Project seeks both to aid in preservation of and to provide access to a remarkable collection of rare sixteenth-century French books by creating archival-quality facsimiles of the treasures of the collection and providing color digital facsimiles of the books on the project website. By presenting the digital collection in a thematic interface, with accompanying reference materials, the Gordon Project seeks to expand the role of rare books and of Internet/digital technology in both research and teaching.
