Medieval Texts Reading Group

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!

For our Spring meeting this year, we will read Cædmon’s Hymn and some related texts. Discussion will be led by Professor Erica Weaver (English).
