Andrew Cole, currently associate professor of English at the University of Georgia and recently hired as associate professor of English at Princeton, is a scholar of Middle English literature with wide-ranging interests in late-medieval culture and society. His recent book, "Literature and Heresy in the Age of Chaucer" (Cambridge UP), is a compelling examination of the role of Wycliffism in the shaping of Ricardian and Lancastrian literary cultures. A visiting fellow last year at All Souls College (Oxford), he is also the author of a wide range of articles on Anglo-Saxon poetry, Chaucer, and modern and contemporary critical theory, including the essay "What Hegel's Master/Slave Dialectic Really Means," published in the Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies. His lecture derives from his book in progress on episcopal humanism in late-medieval England.

the Marginalia of Major Middle English Texts"
Professor Kathryn Kerby-Fulton, University of Notre Dame
5pm in the Bryan
Hall Faculty Lounge (Department of English)

University of Notre Dame. She is the author of a number of books, most
recently Books Under Suspicion: Censorship and Tolerance of Revelatory
Writing in Late Medieval England (University of Notre Dame Press, 2006).
This was described in Speculum as "a work of towering scholarship,
densely researched and forcefully presented . . . which will alter our
perception of late-medieval England and its literature" by offering"compelling evidence of the pervasiveness of heterodox thought". Other
monographs and edited collections include Voices in Dialogue: Reading
Women in the Middle Ages, co-edited with Linda Olson (2005); Reformist
Apocalypticism and Piers Plowman (1990); Written Work: Langland, Labor,
and Authorship, with Steven Justice (1997); and Iconography and the
Professional Reader: The Politics of Book Production in the Douce Piers
Plowman, with Denise Despres (1999).
