About me

Introduction I am a librarian and medievalist interested in technologies of mind and memory. I hold a Ph.D. in English from Columbia University with a specialization in medieval literature, and my scholarship concerns the reading of courtly romance in the context of scholastic philosophy and psychology. I am Librarian of the Vassar College Art Library, and teach courses in allegory and Chaucer in the Vassar College Department of English. My book, "She, this in blak": Vision, Truth, and Will in Geoffrey Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde, was published in 2006. In 2023 I edited Take Up the Song: Commemorating the Centennial Anniversary of Edna St. Vincent Millay's Pulitzer Prize for Poetry," an edition of her Pulitzer-winning poems. I am currently working on a critical review of the works of the Swiss novelist Mary Anna Barbey (VC '58), and a book of essays entitled The Automaton in the Archive: Post-human Memories. I also host "The Library Café," a weekly radio interview program aired on WVKR.
