Sarah Beckwith (Ph.D., University of London) has worked at the University of East Anglia and the University of Pittsburgh. Her chief interests are in late medieval religious culture, especially culture in performance. Her publications include work on medieval mysticism and gender, Corpus Christi theatre, sacramental culture, and ritual theory and practice. Her first book, Christ’s Body was published by Routledge in 1993 (paperback, 1996). Her book Signifying God: Social Act and Symbolic Relation in the York Corpus Christi Play was published by the University of Chicago in November 2001. She is currently working on the interrelationship between church and theater as performative cultures in the transition from medieval to early modern theatre.
