Christoph Irmscher studies American literature and its intersections with the history of science and the natural world. His work examines poetry and prose from the 18th and 19th centuries, including figures like Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, and John James Audubon, and explores how writers engaged with nature, environmental themes, and scientific ideas. He also writes about ecopoetry (poetry focused on the environment) spanning early American to contemporary authors.
