Medieval Studies
Crossing disciplines is an internationally recognised hallmark of Medieval Studies, and our provision in this area is closely associated with the Glasgow Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (founded 1997). GCMRS brings together some fifty medievalists across the College of Arts -- one of the largest concentrations in the UK -- and runs a highly successful masters' level programme as well as conferences and seminars. Within the School there are strong links with Historical English Language, and with Scots and Scottish English.
The Director of GCMRS is Professor Beth Robertson: Elizabeth.Robertson@glasgow.ac.uk.
Individual research in medieval studies ranges from religion and gender in Anglo-Saxon and medieval English poetry, through poetics and metrics, codicology and paleography, the editing of Old and Middle English, and Older Scots texts through work on codicology and paleography to work on the forms and functions of medieval literacy.
