Nora F. Crow, Professor of English, holds an A.B. from Stanford in English Honors
and Classics and an A.M. and Ph.D. from Harvard. She specializes in eighteenth-century
British literature, especially Swift and the history and theory of satire. She
teaches an advanced course in “Satire: Execution by Words,” an intermediate
course in “Pope, Swift, and Their Circle,” and an introductory course
called “The Gothic in Literature: Terror, Guilt, and the Supernatural.” Committed
to teaching nonfiction writing as an art form, she frequently offers an advanced
course in “Crafting Creative Nonfiction.” Her other teaching interests
include the second semester of “The English Literary Tradition.” If
you take a course with Ms. Crow, she assures you that you will spend much of
the time laughing.
Ms. Crow has published two books: a monograph entitled The
Poet Swift and a critical anthology of Gothic literature called The Evil
Image, co-edited with Professor Skarda. She has published many articles on
Swift as well as articles on the history of psychoanalysis. Her publications
in the field of literature and medicine include a study of the American woman
poet H.D. and her analysis with Freud. She really prefers, however, the joy of
the sprint to the loneliness of the long distance writer. Therefore she is currently
engaged in writing numerous reviews for the eighteenth-century journal The
Scriblerian and other scholarly publications.
