Mary Carpenter Erler is an American literary scholar specialising in medieval and early modern English literature and printing, and on women's reading and book-ownership in the same periods. Since 2015, she has been a distinguished professor in Fordham University's English Faculty.
Erler's research has focused on medieval and early modern English literature and printing. Her early research looked at the life and work of the sixteenth-century poet and printer Robert Copland, and she has since studied Syon Abbey, a nunnery which housed a substantial library and one of England's earliest printing presses. Her work has extended to studying women's reading and book-ownership in late medieval and early modern England, topics on which she has authored two monographs. He research, which has also intersected with history and art history, has additionally focused on woodcuts, monastic libraries, widows, medieval London, books of hours, the Dissolution of the Monasteries and medieval theater.[3]
The Center for Medieval Studies at Fordham University held its 35th annual conference in 2015 in Erler's honour, entitled "Reading and Writing in City, Court, and Cloister: Conference in Honor of Mary C. Erler"; speakers included Maryanne Kowaleski, Michael Sargent, Joyce Coleman, Kathryn Smith, Caroline Barron, Sheila Lindenbaum and Thelma Fenster.[3]
