Dr. Keith specializes in Restoration and eighteenth-century British literature, with particular concentrations in poetry, women’s writing, textual editing, and manuscript studies. Her research for the two-volume Cambridge Edition of the Works of Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea has informed her monograph-in-progress—The Arts of Exile: Anne Finch’s Poetic and Political Designs. Among the graduate seminars Dr. Keith has taught, she has recently offered The Lyric, from the Early Modern to Romantic Eras and Early Women Novelists and Narrative Theory.
