Harrison Named Distinguished Professor

Dr. Antony Harrison, professor of English and head of the Department of English, has been recognized as a University Distinguished Professor.

Harrison, one of the world’s foremost authorities on Victorian literature, has earned international recognition. He has written five books and edited seven, authored 34 articles and more than a dozen poetic works, and currently serves on five leading editorial boards.

Nominators say Harrison has earned his international scholarly reputation “while being an outstanding teacher and doing yeoman’s service to the English department, CHASS, and NC State,” and that the department’s size makes his scholarship particularly impressive.
