Mary Bowman
Mary R. Bowman teaches upper-division courses in medieval and Renaissance literature (English 321, 323, 330, and 336) in addition to Freshman English.
She joined the English Department at UWSP in the fall of 1998 after teaching at Pikeville College (Kentucky), Northern Virginia Community College, Lord Fairfax Community College, and Shenandoah University (all in Virginia). She earned a bachelor’s degree in English and math at the College of William and Mary, an M.A. and Ph.D. in English at Duke University, and a graduate certificate in Women’s Studies, also at Duke. Her research interests include narrative and lyric poetry (especially epic and romance), reader response, and feminist criticism. She has published articles on women in The Canterbury Tales and The Faerie Queene, and she is always interested in hearing students’ stories about their experiences as readers and students of literature.
