English Department faculty engage in diverse research and creative endeavors, and we publish widely with the very best presses. Recent monograph publications by our literary colleagues include Prodigal Daughters: Susanna Rowson’s Early American Women by Marion Rust (University of North Carolina, 2008) and Parliament and Literature in Late Medieval England by Matthew Giancarlo (Cambridge, 2007). In imaginative writing, Kentucky Poet Laureate Jane Vance published Portrait of the Artist as a White Pig in 2006 (Louisiana State), and Kim Edwards released The Memory Keeper’s Daughter in 2005 (Viking). Rhetoric and composition scholar Janet Eldred’s most recent book, Sentimental Attachments (Boynton / Cook), appeared in 2005; Roxanne Mountford's monograph in rhetoric and composition, The Gendered Pulpit, came out in 2003 (Southern Illinois). Recent monographs in linguistics include Greg Stump’s Inflectional Morphology (Cambridge, 2001), and Thomas Clayton’s Language Choice in a Nation Under Transition (Springer, 2006).
