Professor Bale awarded Harvard Fellowship
Anthony Bale - Executive Dean of Arts and Professor of Medieval Studies – has been awarded the Morton Bloomfield Fellowship at Harvard University for 2018-19.
This visiting fellowship is to support Professor Bale’s research into The Book of Margery Kempe and late medieval pilgrimage. In particular, Bale will develop his current work on Margery Kempe's long stay in Assisi and Rome in 1414 and Kempe's networks in fifteenth-century Italy.
The Morton Bloomfield Fellowship is sponsored by the Morton W. Bloomfield Fund, established in memory of one of Harvard's most distinguished medievalists. Professor Bale will visit Harvard for four weeks in spring 2019, and will present his current work at Harvard's English Department Medieval Colloquium.
