My teaching and research focus on medieval literature and the reception of philosophical ideas in the Middle Ages. My book, Forging Boethius in Medieval Intellectual Fantasies,
from Routledge Press, explores the reception of Boethius through the
creation and reception of a thirteenth-century forgery that presented
itself as a sequel to The Consolation of Philosophy. My current
work looks at how early logic curriculum shaped the work of Chaucer. My
interest in how cultural fantasies about the past and the present shape
reception histories informs the courses I teach on Medieval Romance, The
Fabulous Middle Ages, and Chaucer.
Courses:
Chaucer; Medieval Romance; Literature of Heaven and Hell; The Fabulous Middle Ages; British Tradition, I.
Publication:
