Remco Sleiderink (b. 1968) has been professor of Dutch literature up to 1800 at the University of Antwerp since 2017. In his research he has often focused on the context in which Middle Dutch literature was created, with particular attention to the Duchy of Brabant and the dynamics between the court and the city. He also enjoys delving into the manuscript transmission of Middle Dutch literature, with a special fondness for unknown fragments of chivalric romances.
