The Cult of Chivalry, the Religion of Love and the Rhetoric of Feud. Michael Cichon studies the vernacular literatures of the British Isles, with a particular interest in legal and anthropological approaches to analysing those literary traditions and the cultures which produced them. He has published essays on the erotic in medieval Welsh literature, Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, and Welsh Arthurian romances. His current work involves proverbs in older Scots literature as well as perceptions of the Welsh in Old English.
