Contact Dr. George Nicholas

Dr. George Nicholas serves the department with expertise on Shakespeare and medieval literature. He recently offered a course in Old English that was enthusiastically received, and he has often taught courses in the Norse myths, the sagas of the Icelanders, Beowulf and other old Germanic literature, and the romances of King Arthur. He is well known for annual field day activities in which students learn to handle a broadsword, and in which many pumpkins have been massacred by bloodthirsty Benedictine students.
