The Argus just can’t get enough of Stephanie Kuduk Weiner.  The Associate Professor of English was the subject of a Professor’s Bookshelf last week, and now we have a playlist from her. But this is all with good reason—as one of her former students says, “She is awesome.” Though she specializes in 19th-century British literature and culture, Weiner doesn’t limit herself to the British Isle; she also teaches classes on form poetry, and art history. This is much to the delight of her students, who greatly appreciate her enthusiasm, encouragement and support. Check out some of the songs that Weiner’s currently listening to—maybe some of them are even inspiring her newest academic interest in described sound versus actual linguistic patterning in literature.
