My work focuses on and interrelates the three areas of Romantic literature (particularly the 1790s, the Godwin-Shelley Circle, Coleridge and Blake), Idealist and Romantic philosophy (particularly Hegel, Schelling and Schopenhauer), and contemporary theory (particularly deconstruction, its antecedents and aftermath). I am currently working on organizations of knowledge and (inter)disciplinarity from Hegel and Schelling to Foucault and Derrida, with particular reference to the role of philosophy, and to the unsettling role played by the life sciences and medicine from John Hunter, through the Coleridgeans, to Richard Owen. Two books that I am currently working on are Zones of Entanglement: Interdisciplinarity From Hegel and Schelling to Foucault, and Reading Between Hegel and Schelling. Future projects include a study of the relationship between aesthetics, pathology, and history in a number of philosophical, medical and literary texts of the Romantic period. I have also just completed an edition of William Godwin's novel Mandeville, which is set in the period of the English civil wars, for Broadview Press.
