She has also written a field-defining study of the work of Chaucer's friend and literary executor John Gower, entitled Amoral Gower.[6] She was awarded the John Hurt Fisher Prize for Amoral Gower in 2004.[7] She has also published an edition of the letters of the Paston women,[8] and has edited and co-edited a number of other works. She was awarded a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship[9] in 2016 for her project "Women's Literary Culture Before the Conquest".[10] Major Research Fellowships are awarded to "enable well-established and distinguished researchers in the humanities and social sciences to devote themselves to a single research project of outstanding originality and significance". From 2015-2017 she led the Leverhulme-funded international research network, "Women's Literary Culture and the Medieval English Canon".[11]
