Her main fields of research are Medieval and Renaissance Literature as well as Modernism. Her publications include a monograph on the development of Fiction in Late Medieval and Renaissance travel narratives, and one on Virginia Woolf's Aesthetics of Vision. She has edited volumes on Interiority in Literature and Art, on The idea of perfection in Medieval and Early Modern Literature and on Neoplatonism and Aesthetics and published articles on Medieval Drama, Shakespeare, Joyce and Beckett.
