Prof. Messner named AGHI Faculty Fellow for the coming year
Dr. Craig Messner has been awarded a faculty fellowship within the Alexander Grass Humanities Institute, where he will participate in regular discussions of ongoing scholarship across the university. Messner's focus on the literary use of non-standard orthography in 19th-century US literature introduces a novel dimension of diachronic linguistics to the eclectic range of topics already represented in the AGHI.
