LONG
Paul Edward Dutton, Humanities, Simon Fraser University, is an intellectual historian who spans European culture from the eighth to the twelfth centuries, and whose interests range from the high philosophical tradition of twelfth-century philosophers to more prosaic but vital subjects such as the dream world of Carlingian kings. His published books are collaborations across disciplines, daring in methodology and hypotheses, original and stimulating works of exceptional learning and sensitivity, on big topics grounded in subtle readings of difficult Latin documents, made by a scholar widely praised for both his imagination and his technical mastery.
