Graham Barrett is a social and cultural historian of Latin literacy, language, and literature in the early Middle Ages, specialising in the Iberian Peninsula. He studied History and Latin at Victoria College, University of Toronto, before completing his DPhil in History at Balliol College, University of Oxford. After holding a Junior Research Fellowship in Medieval History at St John's College, University of Oxford, he joined the University of Lincoln, where he is now Senior Lecturer in Late Antiquity. His publications range across the social, cultural, literary, and linguistic history of the Middle Ages, which he combines with a particular interest in edition, translation, and commentary.

Text and Textuality is without question a distinguished and finely crafted contribution to that body of scholarship, one that all historians of early medieval Iberia must consult, and that historians working with charter evidence elsewhere will read with great profit.
