Assistant Professor of English Michael Drout is a medievalist who also studies the works of novelist and fellow Anglo-Saxon scholar J.R.R. Tolkien. English Professor Michael Drout, a nationally known medievalist and J.R.R. Tolkien scholar, has been selected as a Millicent C. McIntosh Fellow for 2006 by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. The $15,000 award will support Drout's continuing scholarship on tenth century English literature. The McIntosh Fellowships are awarded to recently tenured humanities faculty "who demonstrate a deep commitment to excellent teaching and scholarship ... and who are exceptional citizens of their academic community," according to the Woodrow Wilson Foundation. The awards are intended to provide outstanding young faculty with the time and resources needed to continue their scholarly work at a career juncture when professional and personal responsibilities present many competing challenges. One of six McIntosh Fellows selected this year, Drout is the William C.H. and Elsie D. Prentice Professor of English at Wheaton, where he teaches Old English (Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, medieval literature, fantasy, science fiction and writing. His scholarship on medieval literature combines literary expertise with innovative uses of contemporary information theory and evolutionary biology.
