Biography

Marjolein Hogenbirk is senior lecturer in Middle Dutch Literature at the Department of Dutch Studies of the University of Amsterdam, and guest researcher at the Huygens Institute.

She obtained her doctorate in 2004 at Utrecht University for a thesis on the thirteenth-century Arturian romance Walewein ende Keye. In collaboration with the Huygens Institute she also published a digital edition of this romance (Walewein ende Keye) and later a printed edition in the series Middelnederlandse Lancelotromans. In 2006, Marjolein was awarded a NWO-VENI grant for comparative research on Arthurian romances and Charlemagne epics. Since 2010 , she works at the UvA as a lecturer and also held a postdoctoral position there.
She is currently preparing a digital edition of the 13th-century romance Arturs doet, the last text in a famous manuscript preserved in the Royal Library (MS 129 A 10), better known as the Lancelot Compilation. In 2024, she is studying the palimpsests with a fellowship grant from the Tiele Stichting (Bekendmaking Tiele-fellows 2024 – Tiele-Stichting).

Marjolein’s publications are mainly on chivalric romances, especially on Middle Dutch Arthurian literature, and have a comparatist and often wider, European perspective. She also published on the material context of these texts and on intertextuality.
