For those of you book reviewers who might enjoy an Arthurian feminist retelling with romance, vengeance, and intrigue. 🏰 ⚔️ ✨

Kirkus called it “A captivating look at the intriguing figures in King Arthur’s golden realm.”

QUEEN Of FURY and QUEEN OF MERCY aren’t far behind. All coming from @solarisbooks! #bookstodon @bookstodon #medievodon #medieval #fantasybooks

A challenge for all #medievodon chums out there (and the rest of you too, of course). Here are some #song #lyrics. What’s the track? So rarely does the #medieval find its way into #music we must celebrate it when it does! I think the #ThirteenthCentury (the long one, of course! Duh!) is one of the most formative in the making of the #English #Landscape.

To mark the publication of my edition/translation of Troilus and Criseyde, you can now download Barry Windeatt's original English introduction of the poem right here 👇

Enjoy and share!

For those interested, ‘Publishing in a Medieval Monastery: The View from Twelfth-Century Engelberg’ by Ben Pohl is free to access until the 20th of July from Cambridge University Press.

‘This Element contributes to the burgeoning field of medieval publishing studies with a case study of the books produced at the Benedictine monastery of Engelberg under its celebrated twelfth-century abbot, Frowin (1143–78). Frowin was the first abbot of Engelberg whose book provision policy relied on domestic production serviced by an internal scribal workforce, and his tenure marked the first major expansion of the community's library. This Element's in-depth discussion of nearly forty colophons inscribed in the books made for this library during Frowin's transformative abbacy offers a fresh perspective on monastic publishing practice in the twelfth century by directing our view to a mode of publication that has received only limited attention in scholarship to date.’
