Nathan Phelps

Nathan is a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in English at the University of Notre Dame. He studies fourteenth century Middle English literature, but also works with French and Latin sources. Nathan has begun writing his dissertation on nature's noise and soundscapes in Middle English literature, which he hopes will reveal the manifold ways the medieval environment resonates in medieval English poetry.
