Short Biography
Thomas Hinton is Associate Professor of French Language and Literature at the University of Exeter. He works mainly on medieval literary and literate culture in French and Occitan, with a recent focus on French in medieval Britain. He is completing a digital edition of Walter de Bibbesworth's Tretiz, the earliest surviving French language-learning text, and has recently begun a five-year project (awarded an ERC Consolidator grant) called 'Learning Anglo-French: French Language-Learning Manuscripts in Britain, c.1200-c.1500'. The materials used to teach the language will be studied from a variety of angles, including close and co-textual reading, contextual study, linguistic analysis, biocodicology, and imaging. As well as investigating the state and status of the language as these evolve through the period, the project team hope to offer a case study in the value of interdisciplinary manuscript study.
