Cette année avec @modernmedieval.bsky.social, j'organise un webinaire gratuit pour élargir nos approches du médiévalisme et découvrir d'autres méthodologies.
C'est ouvert à tout le monde.

Le RT ne sauvera pas la France, mais est apprécié malgré tout.

It's true: I wrote a book. And what's more, the book is done and soon you'll be able to own a copy. And what's more more, if you want a hard copy you can order one for 50% off now, with the code SAR50. And if you want it digitally, it'll be open access!

Just did the final final check of the cover for my book (out in April!).

My niece, age 4, helped me decide on the cover colours and I think she did a great job 😊

The Middle English Dictionary is an invaluable resource. It was started in 1925 & finished in 2001.

Rather than chasing speed & scale at the expense of quality, we need to invest in the long term by funding the skills & slow labor research requires. There’s no future for the humanities otherwise.

‘In the shifting, centuries-long history of his reception, Chaucer has been read as both irreverent and pious, experimental and traditional, cosmopolitan and quintessentially English.’

For part of spring break I went down a research rabbit hole involving trompe l'oeil paintings & prints in the #c19. So I want to share with you this amazing specimen by Louis Leopold Boilly, featuring a cat (who resembles my Mr Bean!) as the chaos agent who has turned surface into depth.
