Important preparation for next term's reading group at English Department - University of Groningen


Another thrilling hour reading Sir Gawain and the Green Knight at English Department - University of Groningen ! Enjoyed reading the description of the "big green ogre" entering the court. (Un)fortunately, in this day and age, that kind of description only invites Shrek comments

Don't miss the UNIL English Department Research Seminar Series Lecture by Professor Sebastian Sobecki Sebastian Sobecki 🇺🇦, University of Gröningen: 'MS Harley 219, The Gesta Romanorum, and Hoccleve’s Poetics of Autobiography' This Thursday, 29 April, 4:15 (Swiss time) via ZOOM.

How about a newly identified letter sent to Thomas Hoccleve from France, shortly after the Treaty of Troyes? Read my blog post for the The National Archives on English Privy Seal clerks in France, with an edition of a letter probably sent to the poet. #medievaltwitter blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/after-troyes-p…


In response to our blog, Sebastian Sobecki 🇺🇦 got in touch with the team to share some interesting findings about the clerks who wrote these documents. One year on he shares some of his findings in this guest blog 👇 blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/after-troyes-p…

Kudos & all accolades to Judith Bleeker whose Groningen Research MA thesis 'Books as Chapels: Legal & Commemorative Aspects of Fifteenth-century London Common-Profit Books' scored a perfect 10 - the rarest of grades in the Netherlands! With thanks to my co-examiner Ryan Perry

Tom Holland English Department - University of Groningen had a great set up where I prerecorded the lecture and the scheduled hour for the lecture became a Q&A with the students about the content. Prerecorded lectures don’t have to be dead entities. This headline is also, as people have commented, so misleading.
