Andrew Galloway has been a member of Cornell University’s English Department since receiving his Ph.D. (U. C. Berkeley) in 1991. He has written numerous essays on medieval English, Latin, and French literature and culture from the tenth to the fifteenth century, especially Piers Plowman, Chaucer’s poetry, and Gower’s poetry, as well as essays on medieval historical writing such as a chapter in the Cambridge History of Medieval English Literature (1999, 2002) and, recently, entries for the Brill Encyclopedia of the Medieval Chronicle. For seven years he edited the annual volumes of The Yearbook of Langland Studies, and he provided translations and notes to the Latin verses and glosses for the new 3-volume edition of Gower’s Confessio Amantis by Russell Peck (2000-2005).Recently he published the first volume of The Penn Commentary on Piers Plowman (2006), and Medieval Literature and Culture (2006); a study of John Lydgate as the first “vernacular humanist” will appear this fall in JEGP. He is currently working on several edited volumes such as a “companion to medieval English culture,” plus studies in medieval ideas of need and necessity, dream visions, and the problem of the literary history of “Middle English.”
