Daniel Waklein grew up in Suffolk and studied at Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He was formerly a research fellow at St Catharine's College, Cambridge, and has held visiting fellowships at the Hungtington Library, California, and the University of Connecticut.
He teaches medieval and Tudor literature, the history of the language and practical criticism. His research concerns English literature from 1300 to 1600, especially as it was shaped by early scribes, printers and readers. He has published Humanism, Reading, & English Literature 1430-1530 (Oxford University Press, 2007) and essays on medieval and Renaissance reading habits, manuscript studies, Chaucerian poetry and medieval carols. His current research includes a study of correctness and the idea of 'the literary' in late medieval poetry and an edition of an early political treatise, The Boke of Noblesse by William Worcester.
