Medieval History
Our last blog forum entry has generated a great, stimulating discussion. I hope it continues.
But, I also wanted to point people to some responses elsewhere. Dr. Nokes, of Unlocked Wordhoard, now has a response up. Highly Eccentric, of The Naked Philologist, has another (even if she promises that her real response is yet to come). JJ Cohen, part of In the Middle, unrelatedly has announced a GW seminar on "Touching the Past." Finally, I put this in the comments to the original blog forum post, but it may've gotten lost. So, let me repeat the announcment that Stanley Fish has a new book coming out that tells academics to be quiet and stay in the classroom.
Ok, now discuss.
UPDATE: Now, Magistra weighs in too.
UPDATE 2: Now, here's Highly Eccentric. And part deux.

As the little blurb up above says, this blog is a form of outreach (I think) intended to discuss both manifestations of medievalism in contemporary culture but also, and perhaps more importantly, the continuing relevance of the study of the Middle Ages...
