If you like your Halloween served with a heaped helping of book history, may I recommend ✨Book Curses✨, whose pages are darkened by curses from antiquity to the present day. Come for particularised gory threats, stay for perceptions of the material text. Written by some woman.

We always start class with a paired discussion to get everyone warmed up. Today’s question was SUPER productive so I pose it to you:
You’ve been invited to a medievalist-hosted costume party. What character/concept from a Chaucerian dream vision will you go as and what’ll you use for your costume??
