James Morey

Jim Morey came to Emory University in 1994 after his undergraduate education at Hamilton (AB 1983), graduate work at Cornell University (MA 1987, Ph.D. 1990), a Fulbright Scholarship to Iceland (1987-88), and four years of teaching at Texas Tech.

He teaches courses in Old and Middle English, including Chaucer, and his medieval interests extend from Old French and Old Norse literature to the Renaissance, with a concentration on religious literature and the vernacular Bible.

Currently he is working on a set of editions of Middle English biblical paraphrases. He is also a core faculty member in the Linguistics Program.
