http://snidefield.blogspot.com/2008/10/because-new-kid-is-too-busy-with-law.html
Caught in the snide. I said, and said, and said those words. I said them. But I lied them.". Thursday, October 23, 2008. Because New Kid is too busy with law school these days to skewer Chronicle articles. I don't know how many of you have read this piece. Does, for example, an English department with 30 members really need three medievalists? I just want to know where these schools are. Where are these English departments that are terribly over. Staffed in the area of medieval literature? So glad you we...

caught in the snide: April 2009
http://snidefield.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Caught in the snide. I said, and said, and said those words. I said them. But I lied them.". Friday, April 10, 2009. Yesterday's New York Times. Contains an interesting review. Of the off-Broadway play Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage. While I'm not exactly a devotee of experimental theatre, the play sounds like a lot of fun to me. I have a feeling that a few of my colleagues may not relish a play poking fun at Beowulf. So I'd like to call for an end to this kind of libelous characterization. May...

Although he regrets that he didn't get a college degree, he still "got more education than Columbia." He then lived in New York for 6 years, working. He really liked New York. "It is fun, you know?

Vaulting and Vellum: September 2011
http://vaultingvellum.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Two medievalists blogging about the medieval and the mundane. Sunday, 25 September 2011. A Few Thoughts on "Criticism". But it occurred to me again that it's built into the very way we think about secondary and tertiary analysis in my discipline: we call it Criticism. And so I wonder if maybe we can decide, en masse. As it were, to change the terminology we use, and maybe in that way, change the way we think about secondary scholarship. I'm here to learn. Saturday, 24 September 2011. Second: making drink...

Vaulting and Vellum: September 2012
http://vaultingvellum.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Two medievalists blogging about the medieval and the mundane. Tuesday, 25 September 2012. Pedagogy, Bias, and an Entirely Unrelated Amusing Internet Video. Last week, I had my students read a 1988 article by Peggy McIntosh called "The Invisible Knapsack", an abridged version of which can be found here. My students' first reaction was "how old is. So it's with a great degree of skepticism that my students came to a list meant to highlight white privilege, with items on it like:. I can go into a music shop...

Bacchanal in the Library. Monday, February 24, 2014. A Journey to Germany with Margery Kempe. Before I begin, please visit last week's post about Margery Kempe here. Also, let me note that most of this post was typed up while I waited for 2.5 hours at the DMV for my new Virginia license, so I apologize if any of my recollections of the text are slightly off.). As I considered “The Later Years” alongside Carolyn Walker Bynum’s Christian Materiality. I recalled my two semesters of German-language study as ...
