Literature
The College supports research in literature in a number of different areas. The Marshal Foch Professorship in French literature is attached to the College, and its present incumbent, Professor Michael Sheringham, works principally on nineteenth and twentieth century French literature and culture. The College presently has one Senior Research Fellow in English literature, Colin Burrow, who works chiefly on early modern English writing, but who also has interests in classical and European literatures. Katherine Rundell is a Prize Fellow in English, who is presently writing a novel. John Drury is a New Testament scholar who has written on the gospels of St Luke and St Mark and on the literary/structural function of parables within the Gospels. Recently he has turned to reception history of the New Testament, written on Christian pictures and their meanings, and is engaged in a study of George Herbert.
The College also regularly supports Visiting Fellows in English literature.
