[more]Stephen Valeri's work at Dartmouth centered on his M.A. essay about how a French translation of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake reveals the influence of word formation on the internal relations of the work's content. He has also worked on his French and German through courses on modern authors including the 20th-century French intellectuals, Flaubert, Baudelaire, Kafka, and Brecht. Independently, he is approaching reading knowledge in Spanish and Russian.
[more]Victoria Pipas has continued to focus on poetry of the English Renaissance, and particularly on the works of Edmund Spenser, paying close attention to the reception of classical genres in the medieval and Renaissance periods and also the French humanist influences. In her M.A. essay Victoria explored how early sixteenth-century humanist descriptions of Rome's decay shaped Spenser's poetic conceptualizations of matter. She looks forward to continuing to pursue this line of inquiry as I begin a PhD in English at Harvard University this fall.
