Just a few more days to grab your tickets to this! Scottish Storytelling Centre #medieval #storytelling ⚖️

We hold a monthly virtual reading group exploring different versions of the Seven Sages tradition! Tomorrow's discussion will include: inexplicable ageism; analogues for the Tristan-as-beggar fidelity trick; what✨magic spells✨ are most useful for committing robbery. Join us!

Feeling just a little *too* cheerful this week? Join our reading group on Friday for some very sad stories about some very good dogs, as we compare versions of the ‘faithful hound’ tale from different parts of the medieval Seven Sages tradition!

Come and hear me talk about the politics of adaptation, storytelling, and gender in 'The Seven Sages of Rome' - so excited about this!

It's great to be able to share what I've been working on for the last year (though still very much in progress!)! 🎉 If you're interested in digital humanities work or the 'Seven Sages' tradition, please have a look around - I'd love to get your thoughts on this!

Finally recovered from the joyful exhaustion (and covid!) of #IMC2024 (hence the belated post) and already looking forward to 2025! The brilliant panels organised by Bettina Bildhauer included papers from Ida Toth, Jane Bonsall, Jutta Eming, Ramani Chandramohan, Ruth von Bernuth.
