Hannah Katznelson is a PhD candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of California, Berkeley and a member of the Renaissance and Early Modern Studies Designated Emphasis programme. She works primarily on narrative poetry between the French and English literary traditions of the early modern period, with an interest in the persistence of late medieval literary culture in both contexts. At the EXC 2020 she will begin work on her dissertation, which will explore how sixteenth-century literary authors theorise their own reception.
