The Public Medievalist

Welcome, new followers (and thanks to @nkjemisin for sending them our way!). Here you’ll find articles on the medieval world written by some of the best medievalists working today. They’re impeccably researched but written with flair. No impenetrable tomes here.

Suffragettes took to dressing as St Joan in their parades. The Public Medievalist has some details. I'd say mediaevalist, but I'm old school. @PublicMedieval publicmedievalist.com/joan-of-arc-in…

Ya’ll know I love my D&D - but was very disappointed when taking a closer look at some of the classes today. This article is a good read as to why. Take a moment to read and if you’re a dnd-er (or even if you’re not) you can, drop wizards a line. support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/reque…

Je boucle les épreuves aujourd'hui ☺️ Un beau volume, dense et complexe, pour faire le point sur les différentes manières de travailler sur les médiévalismes. Avec des articles de @breton_justine, @HMedievale, @RomainHG, @anne_besson, @fabien_paquet,...

Ugh, @historicus_rex ruining it for everyone… ;)

Apologies for the brief outage, we're back online now! (Thank you, @ISASaxonists, for the heads up)

And I have no idea why we might find it relevant to post this article today: publicmedievalist.com/race-in-asoif/

Another great piece that is not at all relevant to conversations going on today: publicmedievalist.com/white-middle-a…

Additionally, this article seems like something that might possibly be relevant today, for #reasons: publicmedievalist.com/race-fantasy-g…

A few of our articles that we are posting today for absolutely no reason at all. For example: publicmedievalist.com/tolkien-fans-b…

A fascinating deep dive into the *very* timely post-conflict metaphors built into @a24's @TheGreenKnight. By: @cosyfanheater. publicmedievalist.com/green-knight-a…

We're off to @IMC_Leeds next month with our friends @publicmedieval, @CMRR_Winchester, @MittelalterDigi, and @AK_GWDS! If you're at the conference, we'd love to see you at any/all of our sessions on Tue 6 or Wed 7 July. #IMC2021 #MedievalTwitter #GameStudies

This was a briliant event last week. If you missed any of the papers then the threads are well worth a look. #MAMG21 #MedievalTwitter

1/12 And that draws this year’s Middle Ages in Modern Games conference to a close. Thanks to all of our speakers for such an awesome event! We’ll be posting a mega-thread of all the papers next week, but for now here’s today's summary. #MAMG21 #MedievalTwitter
