My scholarly research focuses on literature written in the late medieval period in England and France (roughly 1300-1450). I study information history, archival practices, how we make stories about the past, and who gets included in or excluded from those stories.

 

I'm working on a book tentatively called “Futurecraft,” which argues that changes in medieval English and French archives and libraries led medieval writers to imagine—with eagerness and anxiety—that their poetry would shape the distant future. I'm also working on a couple of article projects, including one about the medieval history of the term “information.”
