Love being brutally called out by the British Library
Oh my gosh I went here a few days ago do you guys want to see the whole sign
I’m covered with “Librarians from Everywhere” but as a former museums professional “Tourists who think we’re the British Museum” really speaks to me on a personal level.

Mediaeval-Muse’s Global Medieval Lit Starter Pack
So… I occasionally teach medieval lit, and in the past few years, my school’s program has made our medieval studies classes more global. As a result, I’ve gotten to teach some cool things from the middle ages that aren’t from England. I figured I’d put some good starters (mostly poetry) in a list if anyone is interested. I can recommend much more global lit (Chronicles, prose, religious tracts, etc), but these, I think, are the easiest to get a hold of - mostly thanks to Penguin Classics. Note: I limit “medieval” to the 6th-16th centuries, though I acknowledge that designation is problematic because what does “medieval” mean anyway?
