Bruce Holsinger specializes in the literature and culture of the medieval world, with additional interests in historical fiction, modern and contemporary theory, the history of the book, and premodern religious cultures. His latest book, The Parchment Inheritance: Animals, Archives, and the Making of Culture from Herodotus to the Digital Age (Yale UP 2022), explores the parchment record of the premodern world from a number of different angles: environmental history, theology, historical genetics and more.
