Jonathan Hsy is Assistant Professor of English at The George Washington University. He specializes in late medieval literature, and his research and teaching interests include Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, and their contemporaries; medieval romance; sociolinguistics; and material culture. His work primarily investigates commerce and cross-linguistic exchange in medieval England and France, but his interests extend into later fields and periods, including early print culture, postcolonial theory, and the history of the English language. His current book project examines multilingual writing practices in pre-modern London and other cities.
