Since retiring from Penn State Scranton in 2017, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature Philip Mosley has maintained a busy schedule of research, writing and service to the campus via occasional event programming. Now, thanks to his former high school in Norwich, England, he recently had the chance to return to the classroom – virtually speaking, of course.
Professor Emeritus Phil Mosley teaches a virtual class at his alma mater -- Norwich School, located in the precincts of Norwich Cathedral, and one of the oldest schools in the United Kingdom. Its origins date back to 1096 when it was founded by the first Bishop of Norwich, Herbert de Losinga. In 1547, it received a Royal Charter and became King Edward the Sixth’s Grammar School. In Dr. Mosley’s day it was a boys’ school and has been co-educational since 1994.
