Her research interests include non-Chaucerian and non-Arthurian romances, manuscript illumination, space in text and image (with particular reference to the East), the practice of fiction, crossing boundaries (of chronology, discipline, genre), palaeography and textual criticism, as well as codicology. Her publications discuss the depictions of Saracens in medieval English texts and their relation to ideas of nationalism, chivalry, violence, and crusade.
