Research Interests and Publications:

 

Dr. Allocco’s research specializes in issues of gender, power and authority in late medieval England and France. Currently, Dr. Allocco explores these topics through studying medieval women, particularly queens and warriors, in medieval manuscripts and art, and also in modern sources, such as comic books and film. She is particularly interested in depictions of women in medieval chronicles, focusing often on The Middle English Prose Brut.

Dr. Allocco’s dissertation is an unpublished document that is not available publicly. Any version available online or elsewhere is unauthorized and has been distributed and obtained without the author’s knowledge or consent and in violation of my copyright. If you do not hold a University of Texas library card and wish to see my unpublished dissertation, you must first request my permission. Please send me an email, and I will send you a .pdf of my unpublished dissertation. Those who receive a .pdf copy from me may not share it with anyone else. I will continue to share my dissertation with graduate students and scholars who contact me and receive my permission until 2024. Once it is twenty years old, however, I believe that it will be too out-of-date and not terribly useful.
