Faculty Research & Scholarship

Lifelong inquiry is a guiding principle for Hanover faculty and students alike, and our faculty model this, in large part, by remaining active students of, and contributors to, their disciplines.

This page features faculty books and recent faculty articles from all academic departments and disciplines, showing the many ideas that enrich the classroom experience at Hanover College.

Arts and Letters

• Barbara Smith and Ursula Appelt, eds., Write or Be Written: Women and Gender in Early Modern England, 1500-1750 (Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2001).
  These essays explore early modern writers using a broad range of approaches and methodologies. Topics covered include: contextualizing the self; female discursive strategies; religious discourses and gender; writing a female space; negotiating power and desire; female writing and the marketplace/publishing; and revisions of male-dominated poetic conventions and traditions.
• Nicholas Baechle, Aesthetic Response and Traditional Social Valuation in Euripides’ Electra: Tragic Kunstsprache and the kharakter of Heroes (Berlin: De Gruyter, 2020). (Classical Studies)
  Euripides’ Electra thematizes and analyzes the appeal of tragic Kunstsprache: for his audience, it reflected traditional aristocratically-inflected assumptions about the continuity of appearance and substance, even in a radical democracy. An analogy between social appearances and aesthetic evaluation is played out and problematized: social appearances made clear the virtues and agency of the well-born just as aesthetic ‘appearances’ indicated heroic character and agency.

  This article explores narrative strategies used in La Vita Christi by Isabel de Villena (1430-60) to achieve educational objectives: to move, to channel behaviors and, ultimately, to strengthen interpersonal bonds and, therefore, the emotional interconnection of her community. Furthermore, by examining the construction of characters such as Mary and Mary Magdalene, this study also shows the effectiveness of experiential learning, collective experience and sublimation in the process of instruction and indoctrination of the Poor Clares of the Holy Trinity Monastery in the fifteenth century.
• Edward Eden and Dee Goertz, eds., Carol Shields, Narrative Hunger, and the Possibilities of Fiction (University of Toronto Press, 2003). English.

• Susan E. Gunter and Steven H. Jobe, eds., Dearly Beloved Friends: Henry James’s Letters to Younger Men (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2001). Dean of Faculty and Vice President of Academic Affairs.
  This volume makes available an ample selection of James’s personal and occasionally intimate letters — many long withheld from publication — to four men: the sculptor Hendrik Andersen, the dilettante Dudley Jocelyn Persse, and the writers Howard Sturgis and Sir Hugh Walpole. The letters reveal a warm and humorous man, far from the austere persona we usually associate with James. He clearly loved a number of those friends with a depth and eroticism previously noted but never so fully documented.

Natural Sciences

Hanover College created an award to honor scholarship and creative activity in 2011 and announced it at the annual Honors Convocation in April, naming Professor of Biology Daryl R. Karns as the award’s the first recipient. When he died unexpectedly two months later, the faculty voted to rename the award in his honor.

Among his accomplishments, Karns identified a new species of homalopsid snake, which was later named after him in honor of his contributions to homalopsid snake biology: Karnsophis siantaris (See Murphy and Voris, Asian Herpetological Research 4 (2) (2013): 140-146.)

  This study examines between-population variation of the Mekong Mud Snake, Enhydris subtaeniata (Bourret, 1934) in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Viet Nam, and relates the observed patterns to previously published patterns based on molecular data. Data on size, sexual size dimorphism, scalation, reproductive biology and diet were used to explore the biogeographical patterns revealed by a previously published phylogenetic and population genetic analysis.
