I have never suggested my research is incredibly important. I write on niche topics and writers that interest me and few others. What’s “important” about my work, if anything, is this: it’s a product of a human being wrestling with what it means to be a human being.
recalling English graduate student seminars of the late 20th century in which "literary theory" was the rage, & within a decade or two most of these "literary theorists" were totally out of fashion & near-forgotten.
