James H. Morey is an American academic. He is a professor of English at Emory University teaching courses in Old and Middle English, including Chaucer.[1]
Morey is a graduate of Hamilton College (A.B. 1983). He holds a Master's (1987) and a Ph.D. (1990) from Cornell University and received a Fulbright Scholarship to Iceland (1987–88).[2]
Morey's Book and Verse is regarded as the standard work on English Biblical paraphrases.[3][4][5] In it, Morey argues that Biblical material was widely available in English from the 12th-century on, and that the Church's opposition was not to translation per se but to the Lollard encouragement of lay interpretation of the Bible.[6][7]
