In the English Department, we read widely across different genres and periods of English, American, and Anglophone literature and explore numerous approaches to literary study with a distinguished, internationally renowned faculty. Our strength is our range and the excitement we bring to our reading: we have among us historicists and formalists, theorists and poets, postcolonialists and feminists; our teaching and writing concern not just poetry, drama and prose, but film, music, art, architecture, and technology. What we share is a passion for talking about the works that inspire and fascinate us and for thinking about what and how they mean.
Our courses cover more than two thousand years of literature and culture, and our teaching formats range from large lectures, to small seminars, to one-on-one advising. A typical program of study embraces the most hallowed texts of the western literary tradition as well as new or newly- rediscovered works. Students acquire a common critical vocabulary and join faculty in debating enduring questions regarding the interactions of art, society, and language.
