Thus far, my research has explored how the codicological construction of medieval manuscripts can raise unexpected hermeneutic implications for their constituent texts. I am also fascinated by courtly love poetry as it pertains to theories of the lyric and literary personhood, and the often-complex relationships between epistemology, literary agency and formal style. I welcome questions and guidance on any of these topics!
