Charles Wickliffe Moorman III (May 24, 1925 – May 3, 1996) was an American writer, and professor at the University of Southern Mississippi from 1954 to 1990.
[2] Throughout his career, and after, Moorman published regularly on a wide range of topics in medieval literature, Arthurian legends and Middle English.
Two exceptions are his books; Arthurian Triptych: Mythic Materials in Charles Williams, C.S.
Eliot, and The Precincts of Felicity: The Augustinian City of the Oxford Christians.
He considered himself “more an essayist than a scholar.”[4] The professorship, The Charles W. Moorman Distinguished Alumni Professor in the Humanities, awarded by the College of Arts and Letters, at the University of Southern Mississippi, is named after him.
