I have recently completed my PhD thesis, entitled 'Thomas Hoccleve as Poet and Clerk', at the University of York. This was part of Prof. Linne Mooney's AHRC-funded project, 'Identification of the Scribes Responsible for Copying Major Works of Middle English Literature'. I am now working with Prof. Mark Ormrod and Prof. Mooney on 'The Writing of Petitions in Later Medieval England' project.
