Jamie Taylor
Jamie Taylor's (Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania) main teaching and research interests
focus on the literature and culture of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century England, though her
work moves across fields and periods, including ancient, medieval and contemporary literary
theory and early modern travel literature. She is particularly interested in medieval legal
procedure, models of community, and Lollardy. Her current book project, Fictions
of Evidence: Witness Testimony and Late Medieval Literature , explores the use
of legal and theological models of testimony in works by Langland, Chaucer, William Thorpe
and Margery Kempe. Related work examines the relationship between England and the Continent
(particularly Spain) in the Middle Ages. Read about Jamie at Bryn Mawr Now
