SUMMARY:Medieval Texts Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Medieval Texts Reading Group welcomes undergraduate students\, graduate students\, staff\, and faculty interested in medieval literature. On the third Friday of each term\, we meet to discuss a text in English translation from across the Global Middle Ages and consider 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. \nNo preparation is necessary (other than a brief skim of the text)\, and no expertise or medieval knowledge is required – only enthusiasm! Suggestions for what to read (or what kinds of texts to read) are very welcome. \nThe winter meeting will take place Friday\, January 30 at 3:00pm to 5:00pm in Kaplan Hall 193. We will read indulgences and the foundation narratives of Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. Discussion will be led by Professor Meredith Cohen (Art History). \nView the readings here \nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA CMRS Center for Early Global Studies.
