Michael Warner’s work ranges across a number of topics and styles, from scholarship in early American literature and print culture, to more theoretical writing about publics and social movements, to introductory editions and anthologies, to journalism and nonacademic political writing. His books include The Letters of the Republic: Publication and the Public Sphere in Eighteenth-Century America (Harvard University Press, 1990) and The Trouble with Normal (The Free Press, 1999; Harvard University Press, 2000).  At present, Warner is working on a study of secularism. This interest has led to two books currently in the works: one, a collection of essays co-edited with Craig Calhoun and Jonathan VanAntwerpen, is to be published by Harvard University Press in 2010 under the title Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age. The other, to be published by the University of Pennsylvania Press, is based in the Rosenbach lectures Warner gave in the spring of 2009; it is to be titled The Evangelical Public Sphere in Eighteenth-Century America.
