LITERATURE
The publications referred to here concern doctoral and post-doctoral research on the relationship between early troubadour poetry and Latin school learning in Aquitaine in the twelfth century.
While preparing the thesis, I was matriculated at Trinity College, Oxford University, but was supervised principally by Linda Paterson at Warwick University. I was also guided for one term each by Professor Nico Mann and Professor Peter Godman, then both Fellows at Pembroke College, Oxford. The thesis was examined by the late Professor Peter Ricketts of Westfield College, London University. My studies were mainly financed by a studentship and travel grants from the British Academy.
Post-doctoral research was performed at the Justus-Liebig Universität Giessen and was financed by a Hanseatic Scholarship from the Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S.Hamburg.
