Dr. Margaret Connolly serves as Senior Lecturer in the School of English at the University of St Andrews and holds leadership roles as Director of the St Andrews Institute of Medieval Studies and General Editor of both the Middle English Texts series and The Mediaeval Journal, reflecting her central position in medieval scholarship.
Her research spans Medieval Literature, Palaeography, and Manuscript Studies with deep specialization in medieval and early modern book production, reader reception, and the post-medieval trajectories of manuscripts. Current work focuses on Scottish collections of medieval manuscript fragments across all textual genres, alongside active promotion of interdisciplinary collaborations through the Institute of Medieval Studies for Masters-level teaching and joint funding initiatives.
Connolly's publications reveal consistent engagement with the materiality of medieval texts, examining book production within fifteenth-century English noble households and tracing reading continuities through the English Reformation, demonstrating her dual expertise in physical manuscript analysis and historical contextualization.
As Director of the St Andrews Institute of Medieval Studies, she oversees a major interdisciplinary research hub, though specific details regarding current student supervision or externally funded grants were not provided in available sources.
