Professor Neil Cartlidge serves as Professor in the Department of English Studies and Deputy Executive Dean for Education at Durham University's Faculty of Arts and Humanities. He is also a member of the Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies.
His research focuses on medieval cultural and intellectual history, particularly Middle English literature and its relationships with Latin and French texts. Key interests include medieval law and marriage, debate poetry, romances, and Chaucer's works. He examines how medieval motifs both feed and challenge modern constructions of the Middle Ages.

His work spans textual editions, critical analyses of debate poetry, and explorations of cultural confrontations across European contexts.
