After some years of teaching Rhetoric and Composition, I switched to teaching medieval literature and language almost exclusively. My main interest is in Arthurian literature; I have written articles on Malory's Morte Darthur,and edited The Grail: A Casebook, for Garland Publishing (NY, 2000). I am also interested in Women's studies, having written on authors such as Margery Kempe and Christine de Pizan; I teach courses on medieval women, most recently "Who Painted the Lion?: Medieval Woman as Subject and Object." I am always concerned to teach and study medieval works in their cultural contexts, and I include interdisciplinary approaches in both my teaching and research. Thus I will teach The Bayeux Tapestry in the same course as Middle English poetry, and will study both text and image in illuminated manuscripts.
