Research interests
Linda Paterson's research is based on medieval Occitan literature and social and cultural history (including the history of medicine). A major project nearing completion constitutes the AHRC-funded edition, in collaboration with Ruth Harvey of Royal Holloway College London, of 160 Occitan dialogue poems (tensos and partimens, see below). Her next major project concerns lyric responses to the crusades in medieval France and Occitania, which will involve a monograph linked to online texts, translations and performances of troubadour and trouvere lyrics. Click here for a preliminary annotated list of troubadour lyric allusions to the crusades produced in 2004. Any suggestions for corrections or updating will be gratefully received.
