Lucy R Nicholas teaches Classics and Early Modern History at King’s College London. She is interested in projects which bridge the fields of Neo-Latin and early modern Renaissance and Reformation history. Her doctoral thesis entailed a translation and contextual analysis of a Latin treatise on the Eucharist by the English humanist and Cambridge classical scholar, Roger Ascham. Aspects of this have been published as “Roger Ascham’s Defence of the Lord’s Supper,” in Reformation (2015) and “Sin and Salvation in Roger Ascham’s Apologia pro Caena Dominica” in Sin and Salvation in Reformation England (2015). The Latin works of the Strasbourg humanist and Protestant Johannes Sturm represent the focus of her current research.
