Molly Lynde-Recchia has taught French and Old French language and literature at Western Michigan University since 1993.
A scholar of medieval French language and literature, Dr. Lynde-Recchia analyzes the increasing use of old French prose in literary texts in *Prose, Verse, and Truth-Telling in the Thirteenth Century* (French Forum, 2000). Her second book, *La vie seint Marcel de Lymoges* (Droz, 2005), is a critical edition of a previously unpublished thirteenth-century text which relates the life of the apocryphal Saint Martial of Limoges. She has also published several articles on these topics and on related questions. Her current projects include the translation of *La vie seint Marcel* and Rutebeuf's personal poetry into English.
