Nick Jones' work in the classroom and in scholarship draws on his training in a combination of historical research and formal analysis. In teaching and writing about Romantic poetry as well as Shakespeare films, he uses close reading and the history of interpretation of texts to explicate the work that a text does in cultures other than that in which it originates. Nick enjoys interdisciplinary work, connecting textual literary study with the disciplines of art history, musicology, women's studies, and cinema. In his spare time, Nick is an amateur musician, singing in the Black River Singers and playing viola, and owner and co-director of Point CounterPoint, a chamber music camp for middle- and high-school students.
