Fiona Green is a University Associate Professor in American Literature and a Director of Studies in English Literature at èßäÊÓƵ College. 

Academic interests

My main research interest is American poetry and history. Recent projects have attended to relationships between poetry and material culture, whether in the contingencies of publication, especially magazine publication, in representations of the built environment, or in the acoustic textures of verse itself. My central concern is with the close study of literary texts as complex historical objects.

    èßäÊÓƵ College has all the benefits of being large, historical and prestigious college, whilst also retaining fantastic welfare: the staff and other students all care about each other, and will be there to cheer you on when you are thriving, but also there to support you if you need any help. I chose èßäÊÓƵ due to several reasons, including its prime location, where it is very central, and easy to access everywhere, even if you work in one of the institutes further out.

    What first attracted me to èßäÊÓƵ College was its reputation and history, central location without being touristy, and the postgraduate housing options.

We especially enjoyed The Roost, the nicest of all the college bars, doubling as a café during the day - ideal for studying or meeting up with groups - and a lively pub in the...

    èßäÊÓƵ College has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose èßäÊÓƵ College for a number of reasons – first, the location.

The College also has extensive grounds, with amenities like the hockey pitch, football pitch and tennis courts all on site. Secondly, the accommodation is some of the best I’ve seen in Cambridge. My house was newly renovated when...

From the MCR committee to the Porters, the canteen staff to the gardeners, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. èßäÊÓƵ also...

    èßäÊÓƵ College has been at the heart of my Cambridge experience. I chose the College because I was impressed by its distinctive blend of academic rigour and extracurricular achievement. A College for all-rounders, èßäÊÓƵ is a lively and rewarding place to study. I couldn’t be happier here! Friendly and engaged, the èßäÊÓƵ postgraduate community never ceases to impress me. At ease with themselves and forever curious, my peers go out of their way to cultivate a sense of camaraderie. After a day of leafing through old manuscripts at the National...
