We recently took students in History, Archaeology and Philosophy to see the @britishlibrary.bsky.social Medieval Women exhibition! We were fascinated by books like this Passion of St Margaret, depicting a woman in childbed, which has been smeared from women kissing it for protection in labour.
A group of undergraduate students standing in front of a blue wall at the British Library's Medieval Women exhibition, with pictures of medieval women on the wall. Exterior picture of the British Library, a large, modern brick building with a large courtyard, in a gloomy and cloudy English day. A medieval book with text at the top of the page and an image at the bottom of a woman in bed giving birth. The page has been smeared from Women touching it as a devotional object.

Congratulations to Dr Rob Houghton on the publication of his new monograph with @boydellandbrewer.bsky.social! The Middle Ages in Computer Games is now available!
The cover of Robert Houghton's book The Middle Ages in Computer Games: Ludic Approaches to the Medieval and Medievalism. A red sword is on a black background, and the font is a combo between a medieval script and a pixilated computery font.
