Nostalgia in the 14th century

I am Associate Professor of Medieval History at the University of Oxford (St John's College). I am a 2014 Philip Leverhulme Prize Winner. I research the social and cultural history of the later Middle Ages and am particularly interested in the ways in which people respond to challenges and suffering – oppression, violence, extreme change.
