Richard Firth Green is the author of A Crisis of Truth: Literature and Law in Ricardian England (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2002); Poets and Princepleasers: Literature and the English Court in the Late Middle Ages (University of Toronto Press, 1979) and of numerous articles in such journals as Speculum, Medium Aevum, Chaucer Review and Studies in the Age of Chaucer. In 2002 he moved to the Ohio State University, attracted by its strengths in both medieval studies and folklore, and from 2006 to 2013 he served as Director of the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Although his home unit at OSU was the English Department, he regards himself as much a cultural historian as a literary critic; along with standard medieval English literature courses, he regularly taught a course on Witchcraft for CMRS and one on the Traditional Ballad for Folklore; he has also taught non-medieval courses on Literature and Law.
