Cambridge AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership - Student Profiles
In 2013 I obtained my BA in romance philology and literature from the University of Rome la Sapienza, with a thesis focusing on Provençal lyrics. In 2016 I obtained my MA, in the same university, with a thesis dedicated to the study of mysticism and religious quotes in Occitan literature. My PhD is focused on the role of founding women in medieval French literature, specifically that of the 13th and 14 centuries. The objective is an analysis of the intersection between romance and genealogy, through the perspective of 'competing' and 'master' narratives. Through this process, I highlight the complicated role of foundresses of medieval fictional lineages.
