"Here we have a class two non-repeating phantasm. Nasty bugger, too." (Ghostbusters)
Laurel
Amtower received her Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1993 and specializes in medieval literature, literary theory, and literary culture. She taught briefly at Cal State San Marcos before joining the faculty at San Diego State University in 1997. She has published various books and articles, including Engaging Words: The Culture of Reading in the Later Middle Ages (Palgrave 2000); The Single Woman in Medieval and Early Modern England (MRTS 2003); and A Companion to Chaucer and His Contemporaries (Broadview, 2009). Professor Amtower teaches undergraduate courses in early British literature, Chaucer, Arthurian literature, epic literature, and literature and technology. She teaches graduate seminars in literary theory, medieval dream visions, and medieval literature and culture. The single most profound event that has happened to her was the diagnosis of a (treatable) brain tumor in November, 2009. That quote up there pretty much says it all.
