Prof. Dr. Sarah Knight From her own words:
I teach, translate, edit and write about sixteenth- and seventeenth-century literature, especially English and Latin works. My B.A. is in Classics and English and my M.A. and Ph.D. are in Renaissance Studies. I am interested in early modern student life across Europe, and in how educational processes imaginatively and intellectually shape literary writing. I usually focus on authors who read and wrote in other languages as well as their own, and this multilingualism has led to interests in translation, cosmopolitanism, and different kinds of cultural exchange and linguistic contact with the wider world. Much of my undergraduate and postgraduate teaching reflects these research interests. I am a former President of the national Society for Neo-Latin Studies, Chair of the Academic Advisory Board of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Neo-Latin Studies in Innsbruck, and a member of the Advisory Council of the Warburg Institute, University of London. I was a British Academy Mid-Career Fellow in 2014, became a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in 2018, a Fellow of the English Association in 2019 and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 2023.
