Emma Lipton

Emma Lipton's first book, Affections of the Mind: The Politics of Sacramental Marriage in Late Medieval English Literature (Notre Dame UP, 2007) explores the social and religious politics of marriage in the work of Chaucer, Gower, and Margery Kempe and in the N-Town Mary Plays. Her second book, Performing Justice: Law and Justice in the York Trial Plays, investigates the relationship between legal and theological notions of justice in the York Cycle. She was formerly the book review editor of Studies in the Age of Chaucer.
