Research Interests
Marilyn Corrie is a specialist in medieval literature. While she teaches medieval literature in English, she is just as interested in literature written in other languages, especially French (including Anglo-Norman French). She is also fascinated by medieval engagements with classical antiquity, including the literature that classical antiquity produced. As well as French, Marilyn reads Latin, Greek, German and Italian. She is currently completing a monograph about magic in medieval literature, French and English.
Marilyn has published on subjects including early Middle English literature; Anglo-Norman literature; (continental) Old French literature; Chaucer; Lydgate; Malory; medieval manuscripts; and the history of the English language. She welcomes PhD applications from well-qualified students who share any of her interests.
Before joining MyAV·¶, Marilyn was the Darby Fellow in English at Lincoln College, Oxford.
