APPENDIX A
LIST OF MEDIEVAL SCHOLARS IN CAMBRIDGE August 2010
The following list (not necessarily absolutely comprehensive) is of scholars resident in Cambridge who may
be contacted informally for advice within their areas of expertise. They include some retired medievalists
who are still associated with the University, but normally not senior PhD students (for whom see the more
detailed Register of Medievalists in Cambridge, which you should receive in due course). You should also
note that there are also distinguished younger scholars in College Research Fellowships who are usually very
happy to offer advice. These are listed in Section B below. Under normal circumstances much the best way
of communicating with the individuals in question is to email to them in their respective colleges; but their
office telephone numbers are available in the University’s Departmental and College Directories.
Note that at any one time several members of staff will be on research leave.
