Kathryn
Jacobs Ph.D.
|
Dr. Jacobs
(from Harvard University, l984) joined the department
in 1993 as a specialist in Medieval and Renaissance literature.
Her studies are divided between Chaucer (anything and everything),
and the development of drama in England (from the early mystery
plays to the exuberance of the London stage). Both studies
contributed to her recent book, Marriage
Contracts from Chaucer to the Renaissance Stage, which
was published by the University Press of Florida (August,
2001). She also makes occasional forays into other areas,
i.e. American formalist poetry (Merrill and Hecht) and her
own experiments with the sonnet. Awards include Honors Professor
of the year (2002), MLA book award nomination (2002), the
Barrus award (1999), and the NISOD award (l998).
Over the
years Dr. Jacobs has taught graduate courses as varied as
Beowulf and Victorian literature, interdisciplinary undergraduate
courses with the department of history, seminars in Yeats
and post World War I poetry--and, whenever possible, in the
Middle Ages. She is faculty Sponsor of Sigma Tau Delta.
