During my professional life, as well as being a teacher of many aspects of literature, I have been interested above all in writing about, translating and teaching the works of three twentieth-century Russian writers: poetry and prose of Boris Pasternak, poetry and prose of Marina Tsvetaeva, prose of Andrei Platonov.  Early in my career I also carried out research into the life and work of the Russian-born German writer Lou Andreas-Salomé (friend of Nietzsche, Rilke and Freud). The purpose of this website is to preserve details of the publications to which these research interests have led, and to make some of them accessible to any interested readers.
