I am a medievalist specializing in the religious literature of England from the twelfth through the fifteenth centuries. My dissertation explores Christ's speech in visionary literature, vernacular lives of Christ, and late-medieval lyrics. More broadly, my research interests include medieval rhetoric and theories of the vernacular, manuscript studies, high- and late-medieval religious culture, and the trilingual literature of Anglo-Norman England in chronicle, history, and religious texts.
