Why Is Elspeth Kennedy Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Elspeth Mary Kennedy, MA, DPhil, FSA was a British academic and a prominent medievalist. She is best known as the editor and author of works on medieval French literature. Early life and education Elspeth Kennedy was born in Berkshire. Her academic career was delayed by World War II, during which she worked for the government — in 1940, while still 18 years of age she began working for MI5, domiciled initially at Wormwood Scrubs and later at Bletchley Park. Because the work, though essential, was repetitive, Kennedy studied Russian in her spare time, and initially laid plans to become a Russian historian. However, when she engaged a tutor to prepare her for entrance to Oxford, the tutor's enthusiasm for French medieval history swayed Kennedy in that direction.
