Katherine Walton

Katherine's primary research focuses on devotional texts and religious signification in medieval English literatures, with specialty in affective piety. She has published more widely on affect theory, on trauma studies in the field of twentieth century art history, and on Graham Greene's female religious. She wrote her MA on the intersections between affective piety, the virtue of charity, and medieval understandings of labour. Katherine continues to work on a second, smaller project that examines attitudes towards senescence during the later Middle Ages.
