LAKELAND, Fla. (Feb. 18, 2003) - FSC English professor Dr. Catherine R. Eskin and English major Jermaine Andrews visited Lakeland High School (LHS) on Feb. 12 to teach Renaissance poetry to senior advanced placement (AP) English students. 

During the session, Eskin and Andrews discussed Elizabethan love lyrics and led the class in close-readings of Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" and John Donne's "The Bait." Conni Shelnut, LHS English teacher, expressed an interest in conducting similar classes in the future. "Both Dr. Eskin and Jermaine were superb," she said. 

Eskin joined the faculty of Florida Southern College in 1999. She teaches composition, British literature, women's studies, sixteenth and seventeenth century literature, and Shakespeare.

Andrews is a freshman from West Palm Beach, Fla. He is the son of Bernard and Doris Andrews.
