English Hour: Undergrad Research Forum
On Monday, February 24, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in HC 3104, two undergraduate English majors will be presenting their work at a special English Hour: Undergraduate Research Forum.  Both students received prestigious Undergraduate Research Fellowships last year to work this year on their projects.  Brooke Bullman is employing Jerome McGann's textual theory to analyze the fairytale collection On a Pincushion (1877) by forgotten Victorian author Mary De Morgan, and Troy Woollen is studying the relation of Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde to its primary source, Boccaccio's Filostrato, with special emphasis on questions of narrative authority.  

Please come and support our prize winners, and encourage your students to come, to inform themselves about the research fellowship program, and to apply!
