Thanks. It's been about 4 years since I did OE in undergrad. Thought I'd refresh it in my MA

What is your specific focus in medievalism?

or, if you havent got to that point, whats something really fascinating about the time period you like?

>> No.16407033

My focus is on literature and philosophy in England and Wales. I study both the vernacular and Latin traditions. I also have a minor focus in Medieval philosophy.

If you've not read it I'd very highly recommend "Before Church and State" by Andrew Willard Jones. Absolute cornerstone work which breaks down the fundamental philosophy of the modern man and enables him to encapsulate himself within the Medieval mindset.

I haven't read it but thanks for the reccomrndation. I'll take a look at it.

I also really enjoyed it. I think the reputation is mostly a carry-over from Victorian era sensibilities. It seems to be getting a better reputation over time.

ngl I bought the non-abriged version of Gulag Archipelago and I strongly regret not going with the abridged version

Good to know. I'll probably slowly read it over the next couple years.

I didn't read the abridged so idk. It dragged for a bit but no worse than any other Russian novel.

I wish I could read it all in one go but I have a lot of other stuff on the go that I am required to read. So I'll have to read it when I have a bit of a break from other research.

Audiobook in on YouTube for when you're driving. That helped
