Academic Interests & Research Narrative
I am a PhD Candidate studying women and vernacular theology in late medieval and early modern England. My dissertation research focuses on women’s composite prayer books associated with the textual networks of Syon Abbey. By tracing the traditions of book ownership, patronage, and circulation, this project shows how late medieval patterns of women’s vernacular theology continued into the early Reformation period. This research brings together women’s history, book history, and historical theology to show how lay women’s religious agency created networks of theological transmission in fifteenth and sixteenth-century England.
