For Louie Ulman's graduate course in digital editing last Fall, I assisted in the XML coding of and construction of a scholarly apparatus for a selection of early twentieth century American travel correspondence. I have published an article ("There's No 'I' in Information: Some Naysayings for New Media Studies") in _New Media & Society_ 12.3 (May 2010)) in which I take to task the language of transcendence in new media theory, and my professional interests correspondingly fall within the instrumental applications of digital technologies for the dissemination and transformation of both popular and specialized literary scholarship. I hope to make editorial and archival work a major component of my work in British Romantic Literature, especially as I begin a directed reading on Romantic drama, a significantly neglected area of the field that stands to benefit from digital approaches.
