literature professors
Novel and poetry teachers
Literature professors teach and research written works at colleges and universities, typically specializing in a particular period, genre, or national tradition.
They analyze texts through various critical lenses—feminist, postcolonial, psychoanalytic—and guide students in close reading and interpretation.
The stereotype of the tweed-jacketed academic debating symbolism has some truth to it, though the field has expanded well beyond the Western canon.
My literature professor assigned three novels for the first week alone.
