Hanover College English Department

Hanover College English Department Hanover English students share this hunger. You will study traditional literary works as well as underrepresented voices that may be new to you.

Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and Hanover alumna Carol Shields coined the term “narrative hunger,” the human need to understand human experience by shaping it into literary form. At Hanover, English majors read, write and study literature in order to investigate the basic human impulse to make sense of life through art. Our award-winning faculty and visiting scholars will challenge you with new

ideas. Develop your own creative writing and contribute to the student-run literary magazine, newspaper or coffee house readings. Travel abroad to discover your literary roots. As you advance in your studies, take one of our unique, in-depth seminars focused on a literary master. The major culminates with an independent research or creative project you design yourself.

Are you feeling medieval? Several of our students are!

Here's a selection of photos some of our students took when they went to the Ohio Renaissance Festival on the Saturday of Fall Break. They got to watch some jousting, be a part of a Maypole ceremony, see some swordsmanship, and even ride camels and a knight's horse!
