| Dr. Brown’s doctoral dissertation, on the 15th-century hagiographies of three medieval women mystics, has been revised and will be published in Fall 2008 as Three Women of Liège: A Critical Edition of the Middle English Lives of Elizabeth of Spalbeek, Christina Mirabilis, and Marie d'Oignies with Three Essays of Commentary by Brepols Publishers in their series "Medieval Women: Texts and Contexts." Dr. Brown's research and publications focus on medieval devotional literature written by, for, and about women. Her most recent work has been on the 12th-century Lives of Edward the Confessor written in Latin and Anglo-Norman. Currently, she is working on Catherine of Siena's tradition in medieval England. Dr. Brown writes and edits the "Medieval Women's Writing" and “Middle Scots Poetry” chapters of the annual Year's Work in English Studies (Oxford University Press). She also wrote and edited the "Middle Ages" chapter for the Instructor's Guide to the Norton Anthology of Western Literature. In addition, she is an advisory board member and the secretary of the Society for Medievalist Feminist Scholarship (SMFS), as well as the secretary of the Medieval Club of New York. |
