Assistant Professor · Indiana University · company speakers →

Assistant Professor Shannon Gayk of Indiana University received her degree from the University of Notre Dame in 2005 and published her first essay, 'Images of Pity: The Regulatory Aesthetics of John Lydgate's Religious Poetry,' in the most recent issue of Studies in the Age of Chaucer. This essay discloses a fifteenth-century program for vernacular poetry rooted in monastic hermeneutics that is sure to be influential and that forms the basis for Gayk's new work on Capgrave. Her dissertation, in addition to providing thorough coverage of Lydgate and Hoccleve, also includes a chapter on the important fifteenth-century author and churchman Reginald Pecock. She is currently at work on a book entitled Reformations of the Image in the Fifteenth-Century Religious Literature.
