My research interests lie in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Scottish literature, Romanticism, and oral traditions. I’ve published numerous articles on Scottish literature (especially Hogg, Burns, and ballads), and am one of two Associate General Editors of the Stirling/South Carolina Research Edition of the Works of James Hogg, published by Edinburgh UP, as well as Stirling Co-ordinator for the project. I edited two volumes in the series: Hogg’s Queen Hynde (1998), with Douglas S. Mack, and The Mountain Bard (2007). Work in progress focuses on issues of authenticity, orality and print, reception, and genre, and includes a monograph on the ballad as a genre; a study of ‘lyrical ballad-making’, which theorises the Romantic writers’ uses of the ballad; a co-edited volume of critical essays on ‘Scottish traditional literatures’; and a third volume for the Hogg Edition, Scottish Pastorals and Other Early Poems.
