Morning Medieval Miscellany

I've started posting grades for my classes, though probably won't be done grading until the end of the week. Let the whining begin! Here's a Miscellany to help me maintain sanity:

• Homilaria has a post on early medieval scripture interpretation, and one on both the benefits and dangers of Helmut Gneuss's liturgy typology. Yes, Helmut Gneuss has one of the coolest names ever.
• The Medieval Club of New York has an event on Friday: "Out of Darkness, or Why and How the Fifteenth-Century Middle English Doctrine of the Heart Matters" by Denis Renevey.
• Jeff Sypeck considers the pejorative use of the word "medieval" by comparing Chaucer with Oscar Micheaux.
• Eileen Joy resurrects an old discussion in anticipation of the series of pieces about to come out in the Heroic Age ... reminding me that I have to try to get the proofs back to The Swain today, or tomorrow at the latest.
• Heavenfield, reminded of the topic by Joy's post, writes about ethnogenesis.
• Heroic Dreams has a preview of upcoming fantasy and medieval movies. Here, There Be Dragons was one I hadn't heard about. I can't say I'm beside myself with excitement about any of these.

OK, that's it for now. Back to the grading dungeon, from which no professor returns unscathed.
