- Heavenfield has two posts on Marie de France's Life of Saint Audrey.
- Among a bunch of medieval tidbits, Per Omnia Saecula leads us to the podcast for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibit, "Set in Stone: The Face in Medieval Sculpture." I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, so I'm not sure how it works as a stand-alone podcast (vs. a guided tour through exhibits you can't see if you aren't listening to it at the Met). If any Wordhoarders listen and want to comment on its worth below, feel free.
- In the Middle has a post on the phrase "mock medieval" -- and now I have to read Marcus Bull's book, Thinking Medieval: An Introduction to the Study of the Middle Ages.
- K.A. Laity has some images of The Simpsons Bayeaux Tapestry.
- Heroic Dreams has a post about medieval-style castles in America during the Gothic Revival.

Morning Medieval Miscellany
I'm not sure how these morning medieval miscellanies are going to work on my new schedule -- they may come later in the morning during the Spring semester. We'll just have to see how things shake out.

Hello Doc! I thought the podcast worked rather well, as its sort of about the motivation behind the exhibit and the historical background. It doesn't really refer to any specific pieces without thoroughly grounding them. I may be biased, having seen the exhibit, though it was over a year ago and I don't rememer it particularly well!
