Biography —
McConnell's current research deals with the fourteenth-century anonymous allegory, the Minneburg, a work which the late Ingeborg Glier described in her 1971 work, Artes Amandi, as "eine der umfangreichsten und kompliziertesten deutschen Minnelehren." His intention is to prepare an annotated English rendition of this work that can be made accessible to both scholars and educated laymen with an interest in the German Late Middle Ages.
