Clay Greene serves as an Assistant Professor of Literature at the University of Austin, affiliated with the Center for Arts and Letters. His scholarly work focuses on the literary, philosophical, and historical inheritances of early modern Greece and Rome within English intellectual traditions.
Dr. Greene earned his Ph.D. in English and Renaissance Studies from Yale University, establishing his expertise in 17th-18th century intellectual history.
His research examines early modern England's literary culture (1650s-1750s), particularly the intersections of philosophy, theology, and poetry centered on John Milton. Key investigations include the Platonic doctrine of pre-existence of the soul as a religious movement and the relationship between metaphysical assumptions and moral frameworks during societal upheaval. Recent work explores warfare imagination in early modernity, analyzing sublime poetics of physical power in epic poetry through Paradise Lost, Gondibert, and Annus Mirabilis.
