Gustavus Adolphus College

Academic Dean
Provost's Office and English

I am a student of early British Literature and Language, particularly the fourteenth-century Alliterative Revival and Piers Plowman. Much of my recent scholarship has been devoted to the Piers Plowman Electronic Archive. My teaching ranges from introductory literature courses to more advanced courses in "older" British Literature, and I am interested in the English language itself—its history, its structure, and its status as a social marker.
