Paula Leverage's work sits in the humanities and combines medieval literary studies with broader questions about narrative, cognition, and creativity. Her publications range from analysis of medieval epic and hagiography (religious storytelling) to studies of how humans understand minds and stories in film, illness narratives, and language creativity. This suggests an interdisciplinary approach connecting historical literary texts with cognitive and cultural analysis.
