Teaching Interests

Prof. Hanly joined the faculty at Washington State in 1991. He teaches graduate and undergraduate classes in medieval literature and culture, including Old English, Chaucer, and late-medieval French and Italian poetry. He has also taught the department's "Intro. to Graduate Studies" course.

Honors and Awards

Hanly's work has been supported by two Fulbright Research Grants (France, 1993-1994; Italy, 1997-1998) and a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities (1993-1994). He held the English Department's Lewis and Stella Buchanan Distinguished Professorship at the Associate Professor rank in 1997-2000.

Publications

Hanly has published articles in Traditio, Romania, Viator, Multilingua, and in the Blackwell Companion to Chaucer. His first book, Boccaccio, Beauvau, Chaucer (Norman, OK: Pilgrim Books, 1990) studied Chaucer's use of French translations; his second book, a critical edition and translation of a reformist poem from 1398, appeared in 2005: Medieval Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Dialogue: the Apparicion maistre Jehan de Meun of Honorat Bovet (Tempe, AZ: Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies).

Research Interests

Prof. Hanly is currently writing a book investigating the role of writings by international courtiers in the political sphere of late-fourteenth-century Europe, with a focus on these writers’ responses to the prospect of war between Christianity and Islam. He collaborates with French colleagues in medieval humanities research unit in the CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique) called "Laboratoire de médiévistique occidentale de Paris." Hanly has a special interest in paleography and manuscript research, and has worked at the Vatican Library and Archives, the Archives Nationales and Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, the Burgerbibliothek in Bern, the British Library and Public Record Office in London, and in a number of regional archives and libraries.
