The Department of English at the University of Chicago has played an important role in the transformation of literary studies over the past half century. Our faculty and students have participated centrally in the rethinking and reshaping of the discipline. The intellectual horizons of our current work continue that effort, creating a rigorous and exciting intellectual environment for our students. The Department’s contributions to disciplinary and interdisciplinary innovation are strongly grounded in historical scholarship and in theoretical and conceptual inquiry. They are also encouraged by the University’s long tradition of interdisciplinary research and teaching.
