In my teaching and writing, I aim to look at the past through the lens of some very old works of literature – and to encourage others to read these works too, and to think about our shared histories. The aim of this site is to provide resources that might be helpful as we reflect on how the medieval past can help us to understand how we got to where we are today, and to consider what kind of shared future we might want.
If you’re curious about my research in the field of Medieval Studies, this site will give you information on my books, academic articles, and book reviews. (Start with the ‘About’ page.) And you can also find links to my work in the area of Public Humanities—books, podcasts, lectures, and national radio—where I share some ideas on how literature, art, and history might matter to us all.
