My dissertation was published in monograph version by Princeton University Press as The Age of Grace. Charis in Early Greek Poetry (1993). I look at the ways in which the practice of reciprocity (positive and negative) influences the Archaic and Classical Greek understanding of mutual gifts and favours. One chapter explores the way in which this informs the wrath of Achilles in the Iliad; another looks at reciprocal charis in epinician poetry. The book also contains some background research on the Charites.

With Robert Wallace (Northwestern University) I co-edited Harmonia Mundi. Music and Philosophy in Ancient Greece (Edizioni dell? Ateneo, Rome 1991). This is a collection of essays on ancient music, with studies on Damon, Aristoxenus, Philodemus and Ptolemy, and explores the philosophical underpinnings of the musical texts from antiquity. Among the papers is one I contributed on the harmony of the spheres.

Virginity Revisited. The Autonomy of the Unpossessed Body was published in 2007 by the University of Toronto Press. I co-edited this collection of essays with Judith Fletcher (Wilfred Laurier University) and wrote the introduction. The focus of the study is on the ways in which sexual renunciation confers independence upon women. The papers look at the virgins in the Greek pantheon, the Roman Vestals, virgin martyrs and the Virgin Mary. The study moves from Classical Antiquity to the modern period, with a look at Grace Marks in Margaret Atwood?s Alias Grace.
