Constance B. Hieatt

The frontispiece of Prosody and Poetics in the Early Middle Ages: Essays in Honour of C.B. Hieatt. You know you've made it in academe if they give you a festschrift. Hieatt, who died in 2011, was the translator of the Bantam edition of Beowulf, Karlamagnús Saga, and was a world expert on medieval cookbooks. She taught at the University of Western Ontario.

I am having significant difficulty finding a bio on Constance Hieatt and a complete list of her books and their publication dates. Any help will be appreciated
