PhD Candidate in the Dept. of Art History and Archaeology
M.Phil., Columbia University, 2007
M.A., University of York, UK, 2004
B.A., Brown University, 2003
Gothic art: manuscript illumination; image-text relations in vernacular manuscripts; semiotics; application of digital technology to medieval studies
I have been a doctoral candidate in the department since 2005. My major focus is on late medieval manuscripts, and my dissertation (in progress) situates an illustrated copy of John Gower's Confessio Amantis (Pierpont Morgan MS M.126) within broader contexts of late medieval vernacular book production in England. My recent research also includes a comparative study of two manuscripts of John Lydgate's Lives of Saints Edmund and Fremund (British Library, MS Harley 2278 & MS Yates Thompson 47), as well as an examination of a copy of Stephen Scrope's Epître Othéa (Cambridge, St John's College MS H.5).
For the academic year 2009-2010 I will be conducting research in England and can best be reached by email.
