Scott Annett is a College Lecturer and English Fellow at Robinson College, University of Cambridge. He teaches Practical Criticism and Medieval papers, along with classes focused on Tragedy and Shakespeare. His academic affiliation extends to teaching courses within the Divinity and Italian faculties. Annett enjoys engaging students with a wide range of Medieval English and Anglo-Norman Latin texts, fostering a deep understanding of the connections between theology and literature. His past teaching has involved Early Modern authors such as Tasso, Ariosto, Wyatt, Spenser, and Petrarch, exploring thematic interrelations among these writers and their connection to Shakespeare’s 'The Tempest' and Giovanni Battista Guarini’s ‘Il Pastor Fido’. Currently, his research focuses on the relationships between literature and rhetoric, as well as emotional responses in the Medieval period. He examines intersections of Virgilian ‘pietas’, Dantean ‘pietà’, and Chaucerian ‘pitee’, particularly how vernacular language and translation shape communal identity. Annett also supervises MPhil students in these areas of research interest.
