His previous books, including The Premodern Condition: Medievalism and the Making of Theory as well as Neomedievalism, Neoconservatism, and the War on Terror, have explored the shaping role of the medieval in the making of modern critical thought and political discourse. His research for this project has involved extensive collaboration with an international team of bioarchaeologists, conservators, and other scholars in the emerging field of "biocodicology": the biomolecular analysis of written objects, particularly parchment.
His new book, The Parchment Inheritance: Animals, Archives, and the Making of Culture from Herodotus to the Digital Age (forthcoming from Yale University Press in 2022), explores the parchment record of the premodern world from a number of different angles: environmental history, theology, historical genetics, and so on.
Bruce Holsinger specializes in the literature and culture of the medieval world, with additional interests in historical fiction, modern and contemporary theory, the history of the book, and premodern religious cultures.
