I retired from the ECU in 2005, and then worked in an advisory capacity nationally and with the EU member states and the European Commission. In 2001 I was appointed as founding Director of the Higher Education Equality Challenge Unit, a joint venture of the Higher Education Funding Councils in England, Scotland and Wales, the Department for Employment in Northern Ireland, Universities UK and the Standing Conference of Principals. In 1993 I was elected to the Quatercentenary Fellowship at Emmanuel College Cambridge, and I have also held Visiting Professorships in the USA and Italy. The printed version of the Gollancz lecture (Proceedings of the British Academy, 2005) was awarded the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists' prize for the best article on any aspect of Anglo-Saxon studies published between 20.Īt Leeds I have been Director of the Centre (now Institute) for Medieval Studies, Professor of Old and Middle English Language and Literature, Head of the School of English, and Pro-Vice-Chancellor. I gave the Toller lecture in 1996, the Jarrow Lecture in 1998, and the British Academy Sir Israel Gollancz Memorial Lecture at the British Academy in 2004, and in 2007 gave address on the contribution of the Anglo-Saxons to the development of European culture at the Treaty of Rome anniversary celebrations in Italy. This will also give you access to the current version of the database, which is searchable in many ways. Find out more about the project from our website. I was a founder-member of the Fontes Anglo-Saxnici project, and with Professor Malcolm Godden in Oxford held a three-year research grant for this project from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. I am also work on the Reform consuetudinary, the Regularis Concordia, the interface between the monastic and secular church, and the work of bishops such as Wulfstan and Leofric. These issue raise major questions about the way in which we identify and categorise sources, and lead me also to work on the manuscripts and textual traditions of the Anglo-Latin exegete Bede and Carolingian authors and compilers. In studying the vernacular writings of Ælfric, I examine the ways in which he accessed patristic material through Carolingian compilations, his modes of composition, and his interaction with a complex and well-established intertextual tradition.
My research interests are chiefly in the Anglo-Saxon Benedictine Reform and its impact on ecclesiastical and cultural life.
