Biography

James Cook is Lecturer in Early Music at the University of Edinburgh, UK. He works mainly on early music and is especially interested in music of the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries. He is particularly interested in the ways in which musical cultures in this period interact and how expatriate groups (merchants, clergy, and nobility) imported and used music. He is also interested in the representation of early music on stage and screen, be that the use of ‘real’ early music in multimedia productions, the imaginative re-scoring of historical dramas, or even the popular medievalism of the fantasy genre.
