Herbert F. Tucker teaches English at the University of Virginia and does editorial work there with New Literary History and the University Press.

Besides Epic (2008), recent work along these lines has appeared in this journal and in Victorian Studies, RaVoN, the Journal of Victorian Culture, and several collections: Cambridge History of English Poetry (ed. O'Neill), Conflict and Difference (ed. Birch and Llewellyn), and The Feeling of Reading (ed. Ablow).
