| Professor Ransom is the
author of Poets at Play: Irony and Parody in the Harley Lyrics (Pilgrim,
1985). He has contributed the textual commentary and notes to the Variorum
edition of The General Prologue of The Canterbury Tales (University
of Oklahoma Press, 1993). He has published articles on Dante in Dante
Studies (1977); on Middle English lyric in Studies in Philology
(1978); and on Old Provencal lyric in Magister Regis (Fordham
University Press , 1986). He is currently co-editing The Chaucer
Encyclopedia and preparing the Variorum edition of The
Parson's Tale. Professor Ransom teaches courses in the history of
English, medieval literature, and Chaucer. In his graduate seminars he
focuses on the techniques of textual analysis and editing, and on the
facts of literary texts rather than on theory. He feels "most
comfortable in the lecture format" but is "happy to give free rein to
discussion that is truly engaging." |
