Research Interests: Dr. Beringer specializes in death in literature, medieval manuscript culture, the reception of antiquity, and the intersection of literature with visual arts. Her current project explores pre-modern literary representations of statues to analyze urban environments’ non-verbal realms in the late medieval and early modern eras.
Publications: Her monograph The Sight of Semiramis (2016) analyzes literary and artistic depictions of Queen Semiramis, while her co-edited volume Gender Bonds, Gender Binds (2021) examines medieval German literature’s portrayal of gender and family dynamics. These works reflect her interdisciplinary approach bridging literary and art historical studies.
Labs/Teams: None explicitly listed, though her affiliation with Princeton’s Index of Christian Art highlights collaborative art-historical work.
