Amy Vines specializes in the literature of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century England, with concentrations in women’s readership, textual studies, and medieval romance. She teaches courses in medieval literature, history of the English language, and early women writers.
She has essays (published and forthcoming) in Modern Philology and Trivium; her book project, The Profane and the Holy: Women’s Patronage and the Formation of the Secular in Medieval English Literature, examines women’s patronage and readership of medieval romances to consider how the Middle Ages understood secular literature and knowledge. She is also contributing an essay, “Lullaby as Lament: Learning to Mourn in Middle English Nativity Lyrics,” to a collection titled Laments for the Lost: Medieval Mourning and Elegy forthcoming from Brepols Publishers in 2008.
