Elizaveta Strakhov is Associate Professor of English at Marquette University. She is the author of Continental England: Form, Translation, and Chaucer in the Hundred Years War (Ohio State UP, 2022); co-editor with Megan L. Cook of John Lydgate’s Dance of Death and Related Works (TEAMS, 2019); and co-editor with Carissa M. Harris and Sarah Baechle of Rape Culture and Female Resistance in Late Medieval Literature (Penn State UP, 2022). Her work on Chaucer and Anglo-French relations appears in Studies in the Age of Chaucer, Medium Ævum, Yearbook of Langland Studies, New Literary History, and Huntington Library Quarterly, among others.

Zachary Hines is Visiting Assistant Professor of English at The Ohio State University, where he specializes in medieval poetry and book history. His archival scholarship, including an in-progress book about books, investigates the confluence of material adaptation and metaphorical discourse in the treatment of medieval manuscripts after the Middle Ages. His recent essay on the history of the Sir Gawain and the Green Knight manuscript is forthcoming in Huntington Library Quarterly, and his first edition, commentary, and translation of a fifteenth-century neo-Latin oration, co-edited with Caitlin Hines, is due out later this year in Humanistica Lovaniensia (HumLov).

Holly Borham is Associate Curator of Prints, Drawings, and European Art at the Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin.
