About
Frank Grady teaches courses in medieval literature, literary theory, and film. He has written widely on Chaucer, Langland, and their contemporaries, and he served as editor of the annual Studies in the Age of Chaucer from 2002-2007. His book, Representing Righteous Heathens in Late Medieval England (2005), explores how medieval writers used the figure of the virtuous pagan to confront a variety of historical, cultural, and formal literary issues. Recent collections include The Cambridge Companion to the Canterbury Tales (2020) Answerable Style: Form and History in Medieval English Literature (2013, co-edited with Andrew Galloway), and the revised edition of the MLA's Approaches to Teaching Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (2014, with Peter Travis).
