We are very sorry to report that our dear friend and colleague Dr. Jenni Nuttall has passed away. Jenni has been ill for some months, and she passed away at the end of last week.
Our thoughts go out to her husband Jon and daughter Molly. Her death is a source of great sadness and shock to all of us.
Jenni was a much respected scholar, teacher and member of the English Faculty and Exeter College communities at Oxford. Their reflections attest to her importance as a researcher, teacher, and public-facing scholar. Jenni was a longtime and tireless supporter of the work of the Hoccleve Society, most recently in co-organizing the inaugural society conference in 2018 and co-editing the volume that proceeded from the conference (both with David Watt). Several of the modern English translations available on the Hoccleve Society website are her work, which she made freely available for Hoccleve scholars, and she was among the first to speak for our “Hoccleve at Home” online seminars and helped us successfully launch the series.
We are deeply saddened by the news and will miss her a great deal.
Hoccleve Society
