Bartolomeo's principal research interest is eighteenth-century British literature, with particular focus on the novel and on gender issues. In addition to several articles, he is the author of A New Species of Criticism: Eighteenth-Century Discourse on the Novel (1994) and Matched Pairs: Gender and Intertextual Dialogue in Eighteenth-Century Fiction (2002). He recently completed an edition of Susanna Rowson's novel Reuben and Rachel (1798) for Broadview Press.
