Writings on Love in the English Middle Ages (Studies in Arthurian and Courtly Cultures Series) »

Helen Cooney has taught Medieval and Renaissance literature at Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London, Nottingham University, and Trinity College, Dublin. She has published numerous articles on both Chaucer and Spenser and has just completed a monograph on the courtly poetry of Chaucer, entitled Chaucer's Theodicies of Love. Her increasing interest in the fifteenth century was reflected in a collection of essays which she edited, Nation, Court and Culture: New Essays on Fifteenth Century English Poetry (2001). Her current major project is a study of how the Middle Ages 'becomes' the Renaissance in English literature, as seen through the lens of courtly allegory. She is currently lecturer in Medieval and Renaissance English at Trinity College, Dublin.
