Simone Celine Marshall is a New Zealand academic, and is a full professor at the University of Otago, specialising in 15th century literature, in particular the afterlives of Chaucer's poems.

Academic career

[edit]

Marshall has a Bachelor of Arts from Victoria University of Wellington, a BA with Honours and a Masters with Honours from the University of Waikato. She completed a PhD titled The female voice in the Assembly of ladies: a 'volume without contours' at the University of Sydney.[1] Marshall then joined the faculty of the University of Otago, rising to associate professor in 2018 and full professor in 2022.[2][3]

Marshall identified a previously unknown edition of Chaucer's works from 1807, and was invited to write a biography of Chaucer by Wiley/Blackwell. This discovery shows that Chaucer's life has been used to "uphold conservative white attitudes".[3][4]

Marshall has received two Marsden grants. In 2009, the grant "A new paradigm of medieval literary anonymity" explored how anonymity is conscious feature of medieval literature rather than reflective of a lack of authorial individualism. Marshall found that anonymity was a literary convention used by marginalised people, including women, to express dissent.[5] Marshall was an associate investigator on a 2011 Marsden grant "The machinery of transcendence: unattended moments in the Modernist tradition", which was led by Professor Chris Ackerley. This grant explored the relationship between medieval traditions and Modernist aesthetics.[5]

In 2023, inspired by medieval works such as the Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels that reflect where they are from, Marshall initiated a collaborative project with Otago Art Society to create a "Book of Otago". Community groups, schools, artists and writers were invited to submit a page for the book about what Otago means to them. The pages were exhibited at the Otago Art Society during November and December 2023, and will be bound into a published book.[6][7]

Marshall practices and teaches calligraphy, to assist students in understanding the skills required to produce the manuscripts they are studying.[4] Marshall teaches courses on monsters and monstrosity in medieval literature, medieval misogyny and those who fought against it, and also teaches a class in a surveying course, covering the Hereford Mappa Mundi.[8]
