This just became available on Libby and it's been in the tbr, so I guess it's my new read!

pickSoft pick. It's beautifully illustrated, with in-line colour illustrations, but it feels a bit... random? There wasn't a lot that surprised me, and I'd be hard-pressed to pick out any main points.
pickOriginally read two essays for a class and then decided to read all of them. As all essay collections, somewhat uneven. Overall a pick, though, and I was especially amused that 90% had at least one paragraph complaining about Foucault (The History of Sexuality was pretty wrong about the medieval era.)
On the last essay, and finally able to have some opinions, because Old Norse.
The Lady of the Lake in the Jardin Korriganezed (korrigans are Breton leprechauns)

pickThe maps always change…
I feel like 93% of the Edward II mentions I read forget that his main problem wasn't that he had male lovers, but that he was stupid about it (and also about everything else). Also, Isabella of France had a name.
A) I'm begging for a translation from Middle English quotes. I realize this is a textbook, but you can't assume everyone is a full-fledged medievalist already. I read Latin easier than thisse boulleshet.
B) 85F (30°c) in the shade doesn't help.
I actually still like the book a lot. just fucking. translate the Middle English.
