Paul Russell

Paul Russell is the Margaret Brooks Robinson Professor of Celtic Languages and Literatures. His research interests include the linguistics and philology of the Celtic languages; and medieval Welsh and Irish literature, with a particular focus on their manuscript contexts. Another aspect of his research concerns Latin texts from the Celtic-speaking world, such as the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth and Gerald of Wales, and texts translated from Latin into the vernacular Celtic languages; and out of this has developed a line of research in fields where the texts move between Latin and Celtic languages, such as medieval Welsh law and hagiography. He is currently involved in an ongoing research project to re-edit the works of Gerald of Wales; one volume, De gestis Giraldi, has already appeared with more to come.
