I am a comparative literary scholar working on the English and Italian Renaissance. I am also interested in the reception of classical Roman literature in early modern Europe and modern China. I am now working on the first Chinese verse translation of Ovid's "Art of Love." My academic articles appear in journals such as Philological Quarterly and World Historical Review (in Chinese).

This article reads Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar using the framework of classical rhetorical writings of Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian, and their Renaissance commentators. Topics include the peculiar oxymoronic nature of orator’s ethos, the uneasy relationship between the performativity of rhetoric and its ethical ends, and the Renaissance anxiety over the hypocrisy and deception potentially involved in the rhetorical representation of one’s self.
