'Translating Chaucer is a strange and humbling act. It’s like listening through centuries of static to a voice that is both foreign and familiar, comic and solemn, earnest and ironic.' Jonathan Fruoco writes about his experience translating Chaucer for our Meet a Medievalist Maker blogpost series👇

Interested in adaptation, as a practice? Adaptation Today's upcoming mentorship workshop features composers, performers, and directors who will share their experiences adapting stories to bring familiar narratives to life - join us! Register here: udel.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

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.

In a slight change to advertised programming, our next Making Space (online co-working session) is taking place on Tuesday 2nd December, 5:30pm-7:00pm! Join us to work convivially on your own project, or get inspired and respond to our optional theme: 🎪festivities🍻

Tomorrow (Fri 31st) I’ll be reading some of my Margery Kempe poems at the English Faculty in Cambridge! 5pm, free tickets at this link: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1760728178...

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??

Lookit! Lookit! It’s @hellomizk.bsky.social doing brilliant stuff again!!!

FANTASTIC interview from Guild co-founder and comics genius @hellomizk.bsky.social 🙌🤩

My newest article is out now (open access) for New Chaucer Studies: Pedagogy and Profession. It’s in the form of a comic AND includes an adaptation exercise suitable for the uni classroom! I had a fantastic time working on this and hope you enjoy (and share) it! escholarship.org/uc/item/49h4...

Delighted to hop aboard the ghost ship Backlisted again for some spooky shenanigans for Hallowe’en! Tune in for our supernatural take on Wuthering Heights, discussion of our favourite Brontë, and just the odd reference to another favourite author of mine 😉👻🎃 Thanks for having me, gang!

Tiddly says I ought to get back in my office…

Awww - @rahhh.bsky.social always bringing the perfect treats! 😁

As the weather gets colder, warm the cockles of your creative-critical heart by reading our new Meet a Medievalist Maker blog post by @jamespaz.bsky.social, which is filled with fiery reflections on his 'ecocreative' process🔥 Read more by following the link below👇

After holiday, I spent all of this weekend working on Newberry Library medieval-comicky stuff and @guildmedmak.bsky.social planning and website updating. Next weekend is all about @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social prep! Exciting times for comics, creativity, and (of course) all things Chaucer.

So the free scholarship spot is now taken, but there are still 4 spaces available in my 4-week online course on ‘The Fundamentals of Academic Grant Writing’, starting 13 November! More info can be found on the sign-up sheet link below (please share widely!): docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Just finished reading all the submissions for the Newberry Medieval Minicomic Prize and absolutely blown away by the talent on display! Incredible!

A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments. #medievalsky www.landesgeschichte.uni-goettingen.de/handelsstras...

There is 1 free ‘scholarship’ spot on this course, so please do share the info with any grad students, ECRs, and unaffiliated or precariously employed academics you know!

A very cheering Zoom session with @guildmedmak.bsky.social at which I managed to complete three more #LettersToCromwell from 1529. I now need to log them on the Great Big Spreadsheet.

Pssssst! 😁

Productive time sketching at “Making Space” with @guildmedmak.bsky.social !

I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at this and it’s BRILLIANT 👏
