E-Mail: cthodgki@uncg.edu
Phone: 334-4691
Office: 3316 MHRA

Christopher Hodgkins is the Class of 1952 Distinguished Excellence Professor in English, and works in the literature of the Renaissance. He is author of Authority, Church and Society in George Herbert: Return to the Middle Way (Missouri, 1993), and is also co-editor, with Daniel W. Doerksen, of  Centered on the Word: Literature, Scripture, and the Tudor-Stuart Middle Way (Delaware, 2004). He is co-director of George Herbert’s Living Legacies, a pair of linked conferences on Herbert’s pastoral life in England and his print and cultural legacies worldwide. The first of these conferences will be held in Salisbury, England, on October 4-6, 2007, and the second at UNCG on October 10-11, 2008 (see http://www.uncg.edu/eng/george_herbert/).
As Class of 1952 Professor, Hodgkins coordinates the English Department’s initiatives integrating research and teaching—offering special graduate seminars that feature varied critical approaches and their classroom applications, organizing conferences for graduate students and colleagues to discuss these applications, and inviting to the UNCG campus leading scholars noted for their teaching excellence.
Professor Hodgkins also regularly offers undergraduate courses in Shakespeare, the literature of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and literary study of the Bible. His regular graduate offerings include Milton, Metaphysical Poets, the seventeenth-century lyric, and the British imperial imagination. He has interdisciplinary interests in the complex relations between religion, politics, and empire, as evidenced in his wide-ranging study, Reforming Empire: Protestant Colonialism and Conscience in British Literature (Missouri, 2002). He is in the early phases of a book about representing anti-theatricalism on the Renaissance stage, and will be editing a collection of selected papers from the upcoming George Herbert conferences.
