C. Stephen Finley
Professor of English
Department of English Haverford College
Prof. Finley was
educated at Baylor University (B.A.), where he graduated
magna cum
laude, Honors
Program with Distinction, and at the University of Virginia (M.A. and
Ph.D.). He has been a member of the Department of English at
Haverford since 1982. His scholarly research has been supported by
both NEH and ACLS Fellowships. In 1985-86 he was a Fellow of the
Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities of the University of
Edinburgh, and in 1990-91 he was a Fellow of Pusey House, Oxford
University. His primary field of scholarship is British Romantic and
Victorian literature, although in the last several years he has
expanded his area of specialization to include the years between the
opening of this century and the end of the Great War. His current
research concerns autobiography, traumatic memory, and the cultural
topography of ruin. Throughout his career, he has been concerned with
the social and aesthetic construction of Romantic nature and
landscape, and this interest manifests itself concretely in his
enduring passion for gardens and gardening. Listed below are links to
further pages that demonstrate more completely this range of
interests.
