Katherine Clark

Professor Clark received her B.A. from Duke University and M.A. and PhD. from The Johns Hopkins University. Primarily an intellectual historian with a focus on British political, religious, and historical thought, Clark's research interests extend beyond the discipline of history to include the study of literature as well as art and architectural history. She has received fellowships from the American Philosophical Society, British Academy, Folger Institute, Huntington Library, Institute for Humane Studies, and the Mellon Foundation.

Clark's current book project explores the history of one Anglo-Norman family from the twelfth to the twentieth century. Its evidentiary base includes a unique archive of family papers extending from the medieval to the modern period as well as the family's legacy in literature, the built environment, and the decorative arts.
