Grace Catherine Greiner is Assistant Professor of Medieval English Literature in the Department of Languages, Literature, and Communication at 乐鱼后台. Prior to coming to Utrecht, she was a Lecturer in the Department of Literatures in English at Cornell University, and a Postdoctoral Fellow in Medieval English Literary Studies in the Department of English at the University of Texas at Austin prior to that. She holds a PhD and MA in English Language and Literature from Cornell University, an MPhil in Medieval and Renaissance Literature from the University of Cambridge, and a BA in English from Columbia University.
Her research, which has been supported most recently by The New Chaucer Society, Medium 脝vum, and the Society for the Humanities and the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies at Cornell, focuses on late-medieval English literature, transhistorical text technologies, and the history of the book, with particular emphasis on poetry and poetics (especially medieval lyric), materiality, philology, and literary forms of "recycling." Further research interests include: premodern manuscript miscellanies and "hybrid" books, lexicology and lexicography, archival studies, ecopoetics and ecocriticism, and the postmedieval reception of medieval literatures.
Her first book, Inscribing the Inset Lyric: Material Poetics in Chaucer and Lydgate (tentatively titled), is forthcoming with Liverpool University Press in their Exeter Studies in Medieval Europe series. She has also recently published in The Yearbook of Langland Studies, The Journal of the Early Book Society, and Vector: The Journal of the British Science Fiction Association.
She has previously taught courses on topics including Chaucer, medieval romance, early modern literature, book history, paleography and codicology, Victorian and popular medievalism, the environmental humanities, and the art of love. At Utrecht, she teaches courses on medieval and early modern literature in English and Celtic & Classics, and supervises theses for the BA in English Language and Culture and the MA in Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance Studies. She also currently serves as a field bibliographer for the MLA International Bibliography. When not in the library or classroom, she can be found playing violin in one of Utrecht's many early music ensembles.
