As well as researching Middle English poetry, I have begun to translate some of it into Modern English prose and poetry.  Some will be freely available open access via this website, and some of the longer poems will be available as e-books for purchase.

You can find my translations of Hoccleve’s Male Regle, Complaint, and an extract from his Regiment (along with translations by other translators) on the website of the International Hoccleve Society.
