Most recently my research focuses on the problems and methods of the writing of literary history, and of periodization, which I encountered in practice while co-editing the two-volume work "English Literary History from the 1640s to the 1830s" (in Hungarian). I amprimarily interested in literary history as ahisory of forms and genres, and I experiment with the application of the insights of new formalismin literary hisorical narratives. (My habilitation thesis was written in this subject, entitled "Forms and Ages. An experiment in the literary history of the long eighteenth century" [in Hungarian].)

My research in literature also centres on the 18th century, and on the Romantic age, with a primary interest in the work of William Wordsworth, English classicism, and the literary- and critical history of the long 18th century and romanticism.
