transformation of classical literature, especially narratives of empire
and dynastic foundation, in the vernacular cultures of the European
Middle Ages. He has approached these issues through the optic of
original manuscripts, and in the light of the multilingualism of
medieval France and England. Some of this research resulted in Virgil

Medieval
England:
Figuring
the
Aeneid
from
the
Twelfth
Century
to
Chaucer (Cambridge UP 1995), which won the 1998 Beatrice White
Prize of the English Association. Further work on foundation
narratives has led to articles and a forthcoming monograph on
narratives of female foundation and their challenge to a dominant
tradition of founding fathers. Baswell is also at work on new
research on the cultural imagination of disability in the Middle
Ages. He has held fellowships from the NEH, the ACLS, the
