McGuire Curriculum Vitae and
Publications—October 2012
Since 1 February 2012 I
have had the pleasure of being emeritus professor of medieval history. This
status gives me time to deliver lectures to groups all over Denmark, and I am
presently preparing a series of 5 lectures for the Folk University on medieval
people in the Later Middle Ages.
In
the spring I will continue with a series on outstanding individuals in Danish medieval history.
In April 2014 I will publish (in Danish) a new biography of Boniface and the birth of a Christian Europe, 650-750 (“Det kristne Europas fødsel: Sankt Bonifacius”)
I have for many years been lecturing about monastic life and spirituality in Trappist-Cistercian monasteries. In May I spoke at Saint Benedict’s Abbey, Snowmass, Colorado. In June 2014 I will be speaking at New Clairvaux Abbey in California and on the same trip I look forward to celebrating my “golden graduation” from Saint Mary’s College High School in Berkeley, California..
My long-term project is to write a new and much-needed biography of Bernard of Clairvaux, but I am overwhelmed by the amount of work done on him in the last years but will do my best in 2014 to rethink Bernard, his life and works..
