Dr. Fike joined the Winthrop faculty in 2000 after spending nine years as a founding faculty member at the American University in Bulgaria. His chief interests are Shakespeare, Spenser, Milton, Elizabethan literature, world literature, psychological criticism, Jungian studies, and Christian literary criticism. His publications include Spenser's Underworld in the 1590 "Faerie Queene," A Jungian Study of Shakespeare: The Visionary Mode, and approximately 20 articles on British and American literature as well as pedagogy. His most recent article, "The Literary Matrix of Loren Eiseley's 'The Secret of Life,'" appeared in The CEA Critic and another, "Shadow Dynamics in Aphra Behn's Oroonoko" in the Journal of Jungian Scholarly Studies. As of August 2011, two other essays are forthcoming: "We Are One Psyche: A Jungian Approach to Hawthorne's 'Young Goodman Brown'" in Postscript and "Promoting Research in an Undergraduate Shakespeare Course" in The CEA Forum.
