I picked up Abelard and Héloïse at a yard sale for 25¢, what am I in for?
I really enjoyed reading the Anglo-Saxon canon in the original language, spent 2 years in college doing that. But the High Middle Ages interest me more. More pornography in the text for one thing.

I read something on the 100 years war last year. It was really interesting. What you got for me?

>reading the Anglo-Saxon canon in the original language
nice, I'm taking some Old English courses next year for that same reason. have you run into any important Anglo-Saxon texts which weren't written in OE?
lots of adventure stories and some surprisingly profound theological works, off the top of my head there's "The Cloud of Unknowing," "Revelations of Divine Love," "Consolation of Philosophy," the Troyes romances, and the works of the Pearl Poet
Jacob Gomez
Not OP, but read Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love, and Margery Kempe's The Book of Margery Kempe.

I just finished the Nibelungenlied. I also just picked up a collection of two books, the Conquest of Constantinople by Geoffrey of Villehardouin and the Life of Saint Louis by John of Joinville, both 1st hand accounts of a crusade. I’ve never heard of either but they piqued my interest. Is anyone aware if they’re any good beyond historic import?
Gavin Gray
what was it called?

I've recently been fascinated by the Carmina Burana in the excellent edition by the Dumbarton Oaks, also the troubadours

>Dumbarton Oaks
Speaking of Dumbarton Oaks, this book is a treasure.

Thanks

It’s more late medieval, but Froissart’s chronicles is a really comfy primary source of 14th century and it’s very readable and enjoyable.
Robert Wilson
Just a reminder that TEAMS is the best way to enjoy medieval lit.
Robert Hall
No, it's really boring.
Gavin Perez

No thanks

Is Chrétien de Troyes good ?
Joseph Lewis
Definitely. He's the missing link between narrative romance and vernacular novel, uses his sources freely, and manages to make something modern and classical of them by degrees (like Shakespeare). He crystallizes 12th-century french chivalry in all its weird contradictions of lust and manners and faith.
Nolan White
Only medieval thing I've read is A Pilgrim's Progress
Adrian Anderson
Time to read something enjoyable from the period, then. I'd start with Marie de France.

Camden Peterson
I know, but isn't it hard to think of Bunyan as part of the Restoration period? I always forget he's a contemporary of Samuel Johnson and Dryden.
Nathaniel Adams
No seriously what was it called
