James Johnson did research in medieval Latin and Italian before eventually focusing his M.A. essay on the didacticism of a twelfth-century Latin story collection called Dolopathos. In addition to the graduate theory seminars and workshops, he took courses on Vergil's Eclogues and Georgics, medieval Latin, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Russian fairy tales, and introductory Arabic.
[more]Sophie Frank spent much of her year exploring twenty-first century comics through her MA essay on the French graphic novel Blue is the Warmest Color and its film adaptation. She completed this project under the kind and insightful guidance of Professor Annabelle Cone, of the French department, and Professor Paul Young, of Film and Media Studies. In addition to her research, Sophie continued her study of the French and Italian languages, and on a whim, she took an eighteenth-century English literature course (just for fun).
[more]Elizabeth Cornick has studied English and Spanish modernisms under the expert guidance of Professors Antonio Gómez and Melissa Zeiger at Dartmouth this year. In addition to investigating the influence of Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse on Carmen Martín Gaite's modernist prose and themes in El cuarto de atrás for my MA Essay, she greatly enjoyed continuing to improve my Spanish in elective courses on Frida Kahlo and love in Hispanic film. Elizabeth's other courses allowed her to explore American modernism and the roots of feminist theory for which I earned a course citation.
