Selected publications

Some of her books are:[6]

  • Chaucer: The General Prologue
  • The Keys of Middle-Earth: Discovering Medieval Literature through the Fiction of J.R.R. Tolkien
The book offers excerpts from fourteen medieval literary works in Old English, Middle English and Old Norse together with a study of thematic parallels in J. R. R. Tolkien's fiction. A review in the journal Studies in the Novel found it well-suited for "academics, students, general readers, and Tolkien fans," while the reviewer for Strange Horizons concluded that "for those wanting to explore it the wider field, this is more a companion than a guide."[7][8]

  • Key Concepts in Medieval Literature
  • Manuscripts of the Wycliffite Bible in the Bodleian and Oxford College Libraries

This is a catalogue of 111 liturgical psalters from the Bodleian Library including details on the type of bookbinding as well as examples of decoration and text.[9]
