Welcome
What do Toni Morrison, Derek Walcott, Nadine Gordimer, and Seamus Heaney have in common? These authors--from the United States, St. Lucia in the Caribbean, South Africa, and Ireland, respectively--all write in English; they have all won Nobel Prizes for literature; and they have all been read in the English major at St. Olaf. Our major focuses on literatures in English from around the globe, placing writers from diverse times and places in conversation with British and American voices.
