Henry Bainton is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, with a research focus on medieval history-writing and intersections of literary documentary discourses in the High Middle Ages. He has published extensively on Latin and Old French texts, particularly interested in how new literary languages like French began to take authoritative functions in Latin writing. His research explores how history-writers used techniques and epistemological frameworks derived from Roman rhetoric, delving into the complex relationship between truth-telling and emotions in medieval history-writing. Bainton has held various academic positions, including a part-time lecturer at the University of Copenhagen and an Honorary Fellow at the University of York, where he contributed to the field of Medieval Studies through teaching and research. He holds a PhD in Medieval Studies from York and has been awarded the Royal Historical Society Whitfield Prize (finalist) in 2021.
