My
present research focusses mainly on late medieval French literature.
I am particularly interested in the works of Christine de Pizan and
the relation between text and iconography. I have published extensively
on these topics and am currently working on a monograph tentatively
titled "Allegory, Iconography and Text: Christine de Pizan and
the Debate about the Roman de la Rose" as well as a critical
edition and translation into English of the Débat sur le roman
de la rose (1402) to be published with Routledge (in collaboration
with Prof. Earl Jeffrey Richards).
I am also interested in translation theories, looking in particular at cultural and political "rewriting" in translations, medieval and modern.
