Research

Areas of specialism and excellence at Leeds include cultural contacts in early medieval Europe, regional identities in the British Isles, Scandinavia and the Mediterranean, medieval manuscript collections in Yorkshire and elsewhere, historical documents of the eleventh to fourteenth centuries, settlement studies, religious culture, medieval musicology and the languages and literatures of medieval Europe, particularly Old and Middle English, Old Icelandic, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Arabic.

These areas of expertise build on traditions in both scholarship and in publishing, which are exemplified by some former professors: Maurice Beresford, Arthur Cawley, Bruce Dickins, A. Hamilton Thompson, E.V. Gordon, John Le Patourel, Peter Meredith, Harold Orton, Peter Sawyer, T.A. Shippey, and J.R.R. Tolkien.
