As a historian of later medieval and early Tudor England, my research interests centre around gender roles, law, civic culture, marriage, literacy, heresy, and popular religion in late medieval England. I have published a number of scholarly articles and four books, Gender and Heresy: Women and Men in Lollard Communities, 1420-1530 (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1995); Love and Marriage in Late Medieval London (Medieval Institute Publications, 1995); Lollards of Coventry 1486-1522 (co-authored with Norman Tanner), Camden Fifth Series, vol. 23 (Cambridge University Press, 2003); Marriage, Sex, and Civic Culture in Late Medieval London (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2006).
My current research focuses on how late medieval Londoners used law, legal records, and legal archives. I am writing two books: one on legal narratives and archival records in late medieval and Tudor England, and the second on the practice of sanctuary in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, focusing especially on sanctuaries in the London area.
