What Is This Blog?

Hello and welcome to the Naked Philologist! (Like the Naked Chef, but with more grammar jokes and less chance of embarrassing burns…)

medieval,me,snark,nerd

I’m an honours student in Medieval Studies at the University of Sydney. I specialise in Anglo-Saxon, with a side order of Middle English and- sometimes- a garnish in Old French. Thematically speaking, I’m interested in medieval christianity, particularly hagiography; I’m interested in the role of the Church in social and political structures; I have a thing for powerful dead bishops; I like a sprinkling of women’s history with my religious history; and I have a morbid obsession with the verb þyncan.

This blog is a place for me to flex my thinking muscles on all things medieval, and, hopefully, on some things related to my study. The internet is a far better audience than Microsoft Word.

    I would have sent you an email but didn’t see your email listed on the site anywhere, so I thought I would just post here.

    I came across your blog through Carl Pyrdum’s Got Medieval blog, as I’m a subscriber to his blog, among many others related to the medieval period, including Dr. Richard Nokes’ “Unlocked Wordoard” (Dr. Nokes regularly links to my site in his “Morning Medieval Miscellany posts). I’m just now trying to fill out my own blogroll — I’ve been slow to add other resource links to my website — and the category of “medieval resources” definitely needs some links added to it. I notice we share the same interests, and I was wondering if you would be interested in trading links: I’ll add your site to my blogroll and vice versa. Let me know if you’re interested.

    Best wishes,

    Steven
