Morning Medieval Miscellany

One of the joys of delayed posting is that I can do this MMM on Saturday night, without cutting into my Easter celebrations!

• Caught in the Snide takes issue with the word "stuffy" in the NYTimes review of Beowulf: A Thousand Years of Baggage.
• A Corner of Tenth Century Europe reviews an interdisciplinary seminar and argues that matriliny does not equal matriarchy.
• Hammered Out Bits has a post on Viking tents, and a video showing his forge.
• Heavenfield discusses an article on Urbs Iudeu.
• The Heroic Age has a list of links and registration for a colloquium at Swansea.
• Lingwe has video discussing Sigurd and Gudrun.
• The Medieval Garden Enclosed has a post on daffodils.
• Medieval Material Culture Blog has an update with several new exhibitions.
• Modern Medieval has the CfP for the Conference on Medievalism.
• Muhlberger comments on Berube's* post on Pullman, Lewis, and Tolkien.

Oh, one more thing: Here's a blog that somehow escaped my notice: Getting Medieval.


*Wasn't it a couple of years ago that ever-humble Berube quit blogging, claiming he had "taken the medium as far as it can go?" Apparently, he hadn't quite transcended the medium yet.
