#medievaltwitter I've shared my rationale & design for a multilingual, non-chronological early British literature survey course, which I presented on at #mla2019. The link includes several syllabi: Origins to 1660 (semester & quarter) and Origins to 1800. jennycbledsoe.com/teaching/b…

Today's lecture transcript featured the "Great Pal Chef," "and Berlin," and "goods and bads." Yet it somehow accurately transcribed danse macabre. (Hint: the second two are people's names.) #academictwitter
