Department of English

Welcome to the Department of English at The Catholic University of America.

The trademark of the CUA English department is an emphasis on literature itself: learning its history and searching its aesthetic depths. Our faculty publish in fields ranging from Anglo-Saxon visual culture to Victorian fiction to contemporary American poetry. While our critical approaches vary widely, we share a love of literature and a dual commitment to scholarship and teaching.

The undergraduate curriculum provides CUA English majors with a strong grounding in British and American literature. Our Ph.D. and M.A. programs train graduate students to become scholars at once expert in their chosen fields and conversant with the broader tradition of literature in English.
