Medieval History
As a medievalist and specialist of medieval literature, Nicola McDonald, D.Phil., might be expected to quote from Chaucer: ?Whan that Aprille, with hise shoures soote, The droghte of March hath perced to the roote.?
But McDonald read from a very different text during her presentation on Oct. 20 at the William D. Walsh Family Library: ?Tension gripped Lisette?s body instantly. Her mouth went dry, and her heart beat so fast she could scarcely catch her breath,? she said.
McDonald, an expert on romances written in Middle English during the 13th through 15th centuries, has, for the moment, shifted her focus to examine how the medieval period is portrayed in modern Harlequin-style romances.
