Dr. Scott Annett

I am a College Lecturer in English and a Fellow at Robinson College. I teach both Practical Criticism and the Medieval papers at Parts I and II, as well as Tragedy and the Shakespeare paper. I am also an Affiliated Lecturer in the Faculties of Divinity and Italian. I particularly enjoy teaching Part I, Paper 2 and Part I, Paper 3, addressing a wide range of Medieval English, Anglo-Norman and Latin texts, and I have specific interests in translation, the interconnections between theology and literature, and the ways in which genre can inflect the questions posed by literary works. I have also experience teaching Early Modern authors such as Tasso, Ariosto, Wyatt, More, Spenser and Petrarch, and in the past I have worked on the relationship between Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Giovanni Battista Guarini’s Il Pastor Fido.
