Diverse by topic and method, his books and essays contribute to several fields including the history and theory of lyric poetry, colonial studies, and cultural history realized through semantics (or as he calls it, critical semantics). He served as editor-in-chief of the Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics. In 2015-16 he served as president of the Modern Language Association. He directs the Stanford Humanities Center.
