Denis Renevey is Professor of Medieval English Language
and Literature at the English Department of the University of
Lausanne, Switzerland, and an active member of the CEMEP, the
Centre of Medieval and Post-Medieval Studies. He specialises in
late medieval and devotional literature, medieval religious writings
for
and
by women,
Chaucer
and
his
fourteenth-century
contemporaries. He published the critical edition of the Middle English devotional tract The
Doctrine of the Heart (Exeter: University of Exeter Press 2010) with Christiania Whitehead
and Anne Mouron, as well as Language, Self and Love: Hermeneutics in the Writings of
Richard Rolle and the Commentaries on the Song of Songs (Cardiff: University of Wales
Press, 2001), which discusses the correspondences between the discourse of love in the Song
of Songs and the language of mysticism in the writings of William of St Thierry and Richard
Rolle, where the self is described in its attempts at establishing a direct relationship with God.
He has widely published articles and studies on the medieval English mystical tradition,
female devotional writing and vernacularity in the late Middle Ages.
