The Gerard Manley Hopkins Professorship in British
Literature
Named for the nineteenth century Jesuit, a significant figure in British
poetry, the Gerard Manley Hopkins Professorship in British Literature
enables the university to host a visiting scholar to teach, offer public
lectures, and be a source of renewal and energy for faculty, students,
and the community. The professorship is endowed through the generosity
of the late Leland and Helen Schubert with matching support from the Boler
Challenge Fund. Its intent is to enrich the undergraduate and graduate
programs of the Department of English, foster interdisciplinary endeavors,
and bring greater national visibility to the department and the university.

Other holders of the chair have been Dr. Duncan Wu, Dr. Oliver Plunkett
Rafferty, and Dr. David Attwell.
