Professor Eagle has primary research interests in 20th century Russian and East European film and literature, and in the semiotics of art and culture. Professor Eagle has an abiding interest in verse theory, and his articles on the structures which pattern "free verse" forms in 20th century Russian and Czech poetry have appeared in a number of journals and anthologies.
In the Slavic Department, Professor Eagle currently teaches courses on Russian and East European cinema, 20th century Russian and Czech literature, and graduate seminars on Soviet semiotics.
His articles and book reviews on Russian film have recently appeared in such journals as Wide Angle and Film Quarterly. A series of articles dealing with East European filmmakers like Dusan Makavejev, Jiri Menzel, Andrzej Wajda, and Peter Gothar, appeared in Film Studies Annual and in Cross Currents throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. Articles and book chapters on Russian and East European film have appeared in several anthologies, including the chapter on Roman Polanski in Daniel Goulding's recent Five Filmmakers. Professor Eagle is also the editor of the volume Russian Formalist Film Theory (1981). His work on general problems of the semiotics of art, of cinema and of verse has appeared in Semiotica, Dispositio and Slavic and East European Journal.
He is also co-editor and co-translator with Anna Lawton of Russian Futurism through its Manifestoes (1988). He has written on prose works, e.g. on the novels of Russian authors like Zamiatin and Solzhenitsyn and on the Czech authors Karel Capek, Ludvik Vaculik, and Milan Kundera.
