Johanna Green

I am currently a final year Doctoral Researcher in English Language at the University of Glasgow under the supervision of Dr. Kathryn Lowe and Prof. Graham Caie; my dissertation focuses on three poems found consecutively in the Exeter Book: 'Judgement Day I', 'Resignation A' and 'Resignation B'. Using thematic, palaeographical and codicological evidence, it argues that the manuscript compiler placed these texts together to be read for a specific devotional purpose. My research interests include: eschatology and the Parousia in medieval art and literature; the concept of the soul in Old and Middle English literature; digital editions and editorial theory; historical semantics; manuscript studies, book history and textual criticism; textual afterlives of medieval manuscripts in Early Modern print editions; digital humanities. I currently guest lecture for Honours English Language on 'Electronic Editions and Editing' and 'The Rationale of Hypertext'.

Previously, I worked as a Section Editor for the Historical Thesaurus of English (published by OUP, 2009) and as a Research Assistant on the JISC-funded Enroller project, both at the University of Glasgow. I was also co-organiser of the seventh Quadrivium training event at Glasgow in February 2012.
