She received her Ph.D. in English from the University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on responses to Middle English texts and books in the early modern period, especially editing and textual commentary before the advent of vernacular philology in England. Her current book project examines the scholarly reception of Chaucer’s works in the Tudor era, with special emphasis on the role of antiquarians in the production of early printed editions. She has also published essays about antiquarian reading practices, Chaucer’s early modern reputation as a proto-Protestant, and the influence of Spenser’s Shepheardes Calendar on Chaucerian editing.
