Sharon Fulton is a Ph.D. candidate in English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. Her teaching and research interests include medieval literature, late fourteenth-century British literature, Boccaccio, Dante, troubadour song, oral tradition, storytelling, and animal studies. The title of her dissertation is “Animal Speech and Political Utterance: Articulating the Controversies of Late Fourteenth-Century England in Non-Human Voices,” and it studies the poetry of William Langland, Geoffrey Chaucer, and John Gower. She is currently working on an article about John Gower’s Latin poem
Vox Clamantis, which portrays the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. Much of her research focuses on communal outcry and voices of dissent. She also writes book reviews and essays on contemporary popular culture.
