The Medieval and Renaissance Studies Concentration in English caters to English majors fascinated by historical cultural expressions and their diverse insights into contemporary forms. Students in this program explore literary works spanning from Beowulf to Paradise Lost, immersing themselves in the social, historical, and intellectual contexts of English writing during an era marked by multilingual and cross-cultural European influences. This concentration offers a chance to collaborate closely with experts while studying pre-modern English literature. Recent student projects have examined topics such as race, divinity, gender, genre, monstrosity, heroism, religious texts, theater, poetic identity, female authors, and beyond. Graduates have pursued advanced studies at institutions like the University of Chicago, Harvard, and UVa, entered professional programs at Darden and UVa Law, or secured positions at organizations including IBM, Teach for America, elite private schools, and consulting firms.
