Carl G. Martin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Global Humanities at Norwich University's College of Arts & Sciences, where he has taught since 2010. His expertise centers on early English language and literature with a focus on 14th-16th century texts.
His educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in English from Tufts University
- M.Litt. in English from Aberdeen University

Professor Martin specializes in analyzing class structures and violence in medieval and Renaissance literature, examining how European aristocracy rationalized power through cultural tools. He also teaches Science Fiction Literature, World Literature, and History of the English Language, with plans to expand coverage of Beowulf and Tolkien. His research reveals persistent patterns in how literary works perpetuate class-based injustices through ideological framing.
His recent publications (2019-2024) consistently explore violence as both literal and symbolic construct across Tudor portraiture, Arthurian legends, and historical poetry. Journals like Studies in Philology and Studies in the Age of Chaucer feature his work connecting textual analysis to broader socio-political contexts such as Henry V's reign and courtly culture.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Mellon Fellowship (2001)
- Norwich University Research Awards (2011, 2014)
- Huntington Library Mayers Fellowship (2016)
Professor Martin actively contributes to academic governance as Chair of the Faculty Library Committee and former five-year Faculty Senate member. He serves on the editorial board of Socialism and Democracy, writing interdisciplinary book reviews spanning history, philosophy, and visual arts. His teaching integrates literary scholarship with critical analysis of power dynamics.
