SUMMARY:Medieval Texts Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Medieval Texts Reading Group welcomes undergraduate students\, graduate students\, staff\, and faculty interested in medieval literature. Once each term\, we get together to discuss a text in English translation from across the Global Middle Ages\, to think about what it tells us about its cultural and literary context. Each discussion will be led by an expert on the chosen text and its place in the wider medieval world. No expertise or preparation beyond a brief skim of the text is required – only enthusiasm! \nFor our Fall meeting this year\, we will read 14th century wills from Zadar\, Croatia. Discussion will be led by Dr. Giulia Giamboni (John W. Baldwin Post-Doctoral Fellow\, CMRS-Center for Early Global Studies). \nFOR READINGS\nhttps://ucla.app.box.com/s/y5w471d8l1ezijdn0gdzf7lz0qfoy3bn \nContact: Matthew Fisher (fisher@humnet.ucla.edu)
