Research Kate Maxwell's PhD thesis was entitled 'Guillaume de Machaut and the mise en page of medieval French sung verse'. It was supervised jointly by the departments of French (Dr Peter Davies) and Music (Dr Warwick Edwards) at the University of Glasgow. The thesis first proposed a methodology of 'manuscript as performance', and then used this to explore the impact of manuscript layout on reader interpretation of Guillaume de Machaut's works. I intend to develop many of the ideas presented in the thesis, together with those from my Master's project on the Livre de Fauvel, in a monograph to be published by Boydell and Brewer. |
Together with composition activities, Kate Maxwell is currently co-editing a volume entitled Performance and the Page, a collection of articles from around the world which seek to explore the importance of page layout on manuscript reception and interpretation. I am also working on an article which examines the importance of page layout and memory in the manuscript presentations of Guillaume de Machaut's Mass. In addition, I have articles forthcoming in two editied volumes: Memory, Commemoration and Medieval Europe ed. by Elma Bremmer, Meredith Cohen, and Mary Franklin-Brown (Ashgate); and Consumers, Consumables and Consumption: Manuscripts and Printed Books 1350-1550 ed. by Emma Cayley and Sue Powell (Exeter University Press). |
