Anne Middleton

Anne Middleton (d. 23 Nov 2016)^[1] was an American medievalist who specialized in the study of Chaucer, Langland, and Gower. Until her emeritate, she was the Florence Green Bixby Professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley.^[2] Her work on Chaucer, especially "The Clerk's Tale", is praised by scholars for its contribution to the understanding of Chaucer^[3] and Chaucer's audience. Some of her essays are collected in a 2013 collection edited by Steven Justice and published by Ashgate, Chaucer, Langland, and Fourteenth-Century Literary History; in the same year, Ohio State UP published an edited collection, Answerable Style, whose contributions take Middleton's work as a "touchstone".^[2]
