Kurt Fosso received his PhD in English, with an emphasis in critical theory, from the University of California, Irvine. He joined LC’s Department of English in 1995, and teaches courses on British Romantic literature, classical studies, animal rights, and literary theory. His scholarship focuses upon such Romantic-era writers as William Blake and William Wordsworth, whose works he has examined for their depictions of animals and animal being—and also, in the case of Wordsworth, for his poems’ social meaning. Fosso’s most recent publication explores “Oedipus and the Stars.”
