Her first book, Lost Illusions: The Politics of Publishing in Nineteenth-Century France (Harvard University Press, 2010), examined the role of publishers and printers in constructing a literary marketplace based on literary property rights (copyright in the Anglo-American context). She has also published on the history of a variety of other topics, including authorship, military occupation, the Napoleonic Wars, war reparations, and roller coasters in early nineteenth-century Paris. She is now working on a biography of Maximien Lamarques, a military officer and liberal politician whose death provoked the riot that features in Les Misérables, by Victor Hugo. With Jennifer Ngaire Heuer at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, she is currently co-editor of the journal French Historical Studies published by Duke University Press.
