Jane Geddes (born 26 April 1950) is a British art historian and academic, specialising in Scottish architecture, British Medieval manuscripts, Pictish sculpture and Medieval decorative ironwork.[1][2] She is Emeritus Professor of Art History, University of Aberdeen.[1]
Geddes graduated with a degree in History from University of Cambridge.[3] She earned her PhD from the Courtauld Institute of Art, then a constituent College of the University of London,[3] before working as an Inspector of Ancient Monuments for English Heritage. After this, she became Lecturer then Senior Lecturer in the History of Art at University of Aberdeen.[4]
She is currently (August 2020) Emeritus Professor of Art History, University of Aberdeen.[1]
Awards and recognitions
Geddes secured a Leverhulme Research Award to produce two volumes for the Buildings of Scotland series, Aberdeenshire and North-East Scotland, 2008 - 2014.[5]
In 2003, Geddes published the electronic version of the St Albans Psalter,[6] in a project funded with a major grant from the UK Arts and Humanities Research Board (now Arts and Humanities Research Council).[7] Geddes analysed the images and text of the Psalter to argue that the book was made for the medieval anchoress and prioress Christina of Markyate.[8]
Diane Watt said of the St Albans Psalter project that ‘This electronic publication marked a significant moment in scholarship on women’s literary culture in post-Conquest England’.[9] In a review of the printed version of Geddes's project for the Studies in Iconography journal, Patricia Stirnemann wrote that 'the book is something of a new genre. It is what one might call a "hardcopy-internet" interface [...] that complements the website".[8]
