Research Interests:
She began her career as a medievalist, with an emphasis on French and Welsh Arthurian romance, and she continues to do work in this field. However, she has also developed an interest in medievalism and popular culture, which informs her two current book projects, a collection of essays (co-edited with her colleagues Susan Frye and Caroline McCracken-Flesher) on Princess Diana, Diana: The Postmodern Princess and the Narratives of History, and Hollywood Knights: Arthurian Cinema and the Politics of Nostalgia.
