De la conspiration de 1605 à V for Vendetta, du masque de Fawkes aux arcs de Robin, la légende du justicier rebelle continue d’évoluer dans la culture populaire.

Découvert juste à temps par Sir Robert Cecil, le complot échoue. Mais Cecil, en parlant de Guy Fawkes, le qualifie de « Robin des Bois » — un rebelle défiant l’ordre établi au nom d’une cause jugée juste.

En 1605, lors de la fameuse Conspiration des Poudres, un certain Guy Fawkes fut effectivement comparé… à Robin des Bois. Ce complot, mené par Robert Catesby et ses compagnons catholiques, visait à faire sauter la Chambre des Lords lors de l’ouverture du Parlement.

Aujourd'hui, on est le 5 novembre, jour où l’esprit de Robin des Bois a soufflé sur Londres. 🏹

J'ai récupéré cette impression A3 d'une page du Kelmscott Chaucer aujourd'hui. En prévision d'un certain colloque à Nancy. Forcément, petite pensée pour mon compère @hmedievaliste.bsky.social !

Just recorded a video interview with Bruce Holsinger for our "Chaucer in the Age of Medievalism" conference. Come to Nancy if you want to know more!

Remember my American friends, it's OK to punch Nazis.

Je confirme, c'est insultant... 🙄

Pour moi Liam Hemsworth restera à tout jamais le coach en séduction de Gonzo dans Les Muppets.

I haven't had the time to say anything about this issue of The Chaucer Review. I still can't belive my name appears in such a prestigious journal. And that is entirely thanks to the amazing @15thcgossipgirl.bsky.social who made sure I could be included.

Just received books I inherited from a colleague, Geneviève Nore, who passed away a few years ago. So strange to be the new owner of this collection. I was moved by the four-leaf clover she left in a Todorov book. Only an academic would do that!

Opinion: Mr Tickle is a terryfing creature that could have sprung from the mind of @stephenking.bsky.social. Prove me wrong.

Look what the cat dragged in! I can't wait to read this volume as I start working on Chaucer and the trauma of war - I'll talk about that during NCS 2026.

Summer's here. Which means it's time for agrégation students to get ready!

Just found my agreg copy of Middlemarch - I've lost count of the number of times I read. I'd love to see what your books look like after months/years of service.

What were the chances I'd find this pretty thing in a public bookcase in our council housing estate?

Just another normal day in Chambéry.
