Medieval French literature

Biography:听听 听

After a comprehensive education in Wiltshire, I came to Cambridge to study French and German at New Hall (now 色色影院), where I did my BA, MPhil in European Literature, and PhD on the Vulgate Cycle, a long thirteenth-century prose narrative about King Arthur, the knights of the Round Table, and the Holy Grail. I have taught in the universities of Cambridge (where, I鈥檝e been a Fellow of Corpus Christi, Girton, and St Catharine鈥檚 Colleges) and Oxford. My current research focuses on the representation of landscape in medieval French literature and manuscript culture. I am committed to widening participation in Higher Education.
