Hosted by Dr. Meg Wahlberg, Professor of Medieval Literature 

Step back in time and explore the wild, wonderous, and weird world of the Middle Ages! Whether you're a curious newcomer or a seasoned scholar, you're invited to join a relaxed, welcoming book club dedicated to reading and discussing medieval literature with modern eyes. 

We will read everything from knightly romances and saintly visions to werewolf tales, riddles, and bawdy pilgrim stories to historical fiction set in the medieval world. Each session includes brief context and guided discussion -- no prior experience with medieval texts necessary. 

What to Expect: 

• Fascinating readings in translation (no need to know Latin or Middle English)
• Informal discussion of courtly love, gender, monstrosity, religion, nature, and more 
• A supportive community of fellow book lovers 

Schedule: We meet the first Tuesday of the month at 6pm. 

• December (12/2): Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - Simon Armitage’s translation
• January (1/6): The Buried Giant - Kazuo Ishiguro
• February (2/3): The Book of the City of Ladies by Christine de Pizan – Rosalind Brown-Grant’s translation
• March (3/3): Normal Women by Phillipa Gregory
• April (4/7): Marie de France, The Lais of Marie de France – Emily Waters’s translation
• May (5/5): Matrix by Lauren Groff

Some readings will be available through a PDF and others can be found in the Bucks County Free Library system or for purchase online or in bookstores.
