Natalia Fantetti

Natalia Fantetti is an Early Career Research Fellow specializing in interdisciplinary humanities research. Her work bridges historical periods through innovative analysis of textual production networks.

Her academic credentials include:

• BA in English from King’s College London
• MA in Modern Literature and Culture from King’s College London
• PhD on women’s contributions to the medieval manuscript trade ca. 1900–1945 from the Institute of English Studies, School of Advanced Study

Fantetti’s research methodology integrates gender studies with book history to examine women’s labor in manuscript production across historical periods. As a medieval-modernist, she challenges conventional period boundaries by demonstrating how early 20th-century manuscript trade practices reflect and reinterpret medieval precedents. Her work reveals persistent structural patterns in textual transmission while highlighting gendered dimensions of book production that traditional scholarship often overlooks.

Her scholarly contributions to Manuscript Studies and key edited volumes establish her as an emerging authority on intersectional approaches to book history. Fantetti’s research provides critical frameworks for understanding how historical manuscript networks continue to influence contemporary textual culture.
