Andrew Kraebel is Associate Professor of English. A specialist in the Latin and English literature of the later Middle Ages, his work focuses on medieval ideas of textuality, the history of literary criticism, and the transmission of texts before the age of print.

He is the author of Biblical Commentary and Translation in Later Medieval England: Experiments in Interpretation, published by Cambridge University Press in 2020, for which he was awarded the best first book prize by the Ecclesiastical History Society and the John Nicholas Brown Prize by the Medieval Academy of America. More recently, he has completed a critical edition and translation of one of the last Latin works of the medieval English mystic Richard Rolle, Postille super novem lectiones mortuorum or Glosses on the Nine Lessons of the Dead, published by the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in 2025.

He has co-edited collections on Medieval Literary Theory and Criticism: Interpretation, Invention, Imagination (Cambridge, 2023) and Medieval Cantors and their Craft: Music, Liturgy, and the Shaping of History, 800–1500 (Brewer, 2017), as well as a colloquy of essays on “The Textual Cult of Richard Rolle: Writing Contemplation in Later Medieval England,” Speculum 99 (2024).

His current projects include an anthology of sources on medieval literary theory and criticism, a monograph on the medieval “publication” of the works of Rolle, a collection of essays on Middle English mysticism, and a critical edition and translation of Rolle’s magnum opus, Incendium Amoris or The Fire of Love.

Kraebel serves on the editorial boards of the British Writers series for the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, and of the Sources in Early Poetics series for Brill.
