MilwaukeeWI53201United States of America(414) 288-6865yelizaveta.strakhov@marquette.eduCurriculum VitaeI work on fourteenth- and fifteenth-century literary exchange between Francophone regions of medieval Europe (England, France, Northern Spain, Northern Italy, and what are now modern-day French Switzerland, French Belgium, and the Netherlands). My research engages with transnationalism studies, translation theory, and the history of the material text. I have an A.B. magna cum laude in History and Literature from Harvard University and an M.A. and Ph.D in Comparative Literature and Literary Theory from the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to coming to Marquette, I was a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Medieval French at Northwestern University.
My first book, Continental England: Form, Translation, and Chaucer in the Hundred Years War (Ohio State UP, 2022), emphasizes England鈥檚 Continental presence during the Hundred Years War for new understandings of England鈥檚 relationship to late medieval France and Italy. I have also co-edited, with Megan L. Cook, an anthology of medieval poetry about death and dying, entitled John Lydgate's Dance of Death and Related Works (TEAMS, 2019) and am co-editor, with Sarah Baechle and Carissa Harris, of the edited volume Rape Culture and Female Resistance in Late Medieval Literature (Penn State UP, 2022). My work on medieval lyric, manuscript miscellanies, and Chaucer has appeared in Studies in the Age of Chaucer, New Literary History, Huntington Library Quarterly, and Yearbook of Langland Studies, among others. My new book project concerns the scribal treatment of translation in late medieval manuscripts,
Like my scholarship, my teaching is committed to investigating the multilingualism and regional diversity of the medieval reading public. In this way, I build my students鈥� sensitivity to the concept of a 鈥渘ational鈥� literary canon. Aided by my material text expertise, I make prominent use, in my teaching, of digitized manuscript archives and digital humanities projects. As I situate the text in its contemporary moment, I also draw it into generative new contexts, such as when I discuss the Peasant鈥檚 Revolt of 1381 in the context of contemporary political protests or use Game of Thrones to think about the modern racial representation of the Middle Ages.
