Biography:
Mary-Jo Arn (28 March 1942 – 14 December 2024)
Mary-Jo Arn held positions as professor in Groningen (1980–1987) and at Bloomsbury University PA (1991–1999); between 2000 and 2012, she worked at the Medieval Academy of America as associate editor-in-chief and editor of reviews for Speculum.
She held positions as visiting scholar and then Fellow at Harvard University in 1998–2000 and 2019, respectively.
As a scholar, Arn was undisputedly the senior authority on Charles d'Orléans studies. She edited two collected volumes on Charles (2000 and 2020), and published two books on his poetry: an edition of the entire corpus (Arns magnum opus), Fortunes Stabilnes: Charles of Orleans's English Book of Love (1995), and a detailed, illuminating codicological study of BnF MS. f. fr. 25458, the manuscript containing Charles’ poetry (2008).
