His first monograph, Revivalist Fantasy: Alliterative Verse and Nationalist Literary History (Ohio State University Press, April 2011), explores the post-industrialist nature of Alliterative Revivalism, and resituates key poems in contexts such as transnational elitism, gendered militarism, borderlands side-switching, and anonymous communications networks. Earlier versions of Schiff’s studies of alliterative romance were published in Speculum (2009) and Exemplaria (2009), while his analyses of poaching culture and the avian poetics of the Anglo-Scottish marches have appeared in Texas Studies in Literature and Language (2009) and Mediaevalia (2008). Schiff is currently at work on projects related to late-medieval British forest law and biopolitics, territorialism, intersections of animal studies and class, ethno-imperial literary history, and ecocriticism.
