Dr. Pfau is a professor of English at Duke University, with secondary appointments in Germanic Languages & Literatures and in the Duke Divinity School. His expertise and interests include topics in eighteenth-and nineteenth-century literature, philosophy, intellectual history and Romantic poetry and theory.
