Justin Tonra is a scholar whose research centers on authorship, textual identity, and the cultural politics of Romantic poetry. His work examines how writers such as Thomas Moore negotiated reputation and literary property within the shifting print cultures of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

His monograph Write My Name: Authorship in the Poetry of Thomas Moore offers a sustained study of signature, attribution, and self-fashioning across Moore’s verse.
