Biography

Professor Linda Paterson specializes in medieval Occitan literature and the social cultural history surrounding it. Her research interests prominently feature Occitan and Old French lyrics as well as narratives from the Crusades. Currently, her projects include an online edition and translation of the previously unpublished Old French narrative Siège d'Antioche, a collaboration with Simon Parsons of King's College London and Carol Sweetenham on the Routledge Handbook of Crusade Texts, Images, and Artefacts. Among her significant publications are 'Troubadours Eloquence,' published by Oxford University Press in 1975, and 'World Troubadours: Medieval Occitan Society c. 1100-c. 1250' from Cambridge University Press. Her critical editions, such as 'Canso d'Antioca' and the three-volume 'Troubadour “tensos” “partimens”' published by D. S. Brewer, showcase her expertise in editing medieval texts. In 2018, she released 'Singing Crusades,' a monograph that explores French and Occitan lyric responses to the crusading movement from 1137 to 1336. Paterson continues to contribute to the field as a valuable voice in the study of medieval literature and crusade narratives.
