Early life and education

Love was born on 29 June 1966 in Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, England.[1] She was educated at Haberdashers' Monmouth School for Girls, an independent school in Monmouth, Wales.[3] She studied classics and then Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic at St John's College, Cambridge, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1984.[3] She undertook postgraduate research in Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic, and submitted her doctoral thesis "The texts, transmission and circulation of some eleventh-century Anglo-Latin saints' lives" in 1993.[4]

In 1993, Love was elected a fellow of Robinson College, Cambridge.[3][5] In 2000, she also became a lecturer in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, University of Cambridge.[3] She was promoted to senior lecturer in 2008 and made Reader in Insular Latin in 2012.[3] She was Head of Department in 2015.[6] In November 2018, it was announced that she would be the next Elrington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon, in succession to Simon Keynes: she took up the chair on 1 October 2019.[7]

Love is an editorial board member of the Richard Rawlinson Center Series for Anglo-Saxon Studies, an imprint of De Gruyter,[8] an editor for the Oxford University Press imprint Oxford Medieval Texts,[9] and the publications secretary for the Henry Bradshaw Society.[10]

Love has published on Anglo-Latin medieval hagiography (saints' lives) and chronicle writing. With Simon Keynes, she examined the Vita Ædwardi regis, an 11th-century text, which gives an account of the reign of King Edward the Confessor.
