Matthew Delvaux is a historian whose work brings new sources into conversation with the grand narratives of the Middle Ages. He is particularly concerned with problems of materiality, intertextuality, and statistical approaches to texts and artifacts. He is currently at work on his first book, focused on the lives of viking captives trafficked out of Western Europe and into the slave markets of Central Asia.
Delvaux will be teaching HUM 216/217, Interdisciplinary Approaches to Western Culture I: Literature and the Arts, History, Philosophy and Religion in the Fall of 2022.
