Student gems are on their way. While you wait for them to show up, I will share with you one piece of advice I really, really wanted to scrawl on the side of someone's research paper:

The Mabinogi were not written in Middle English. If you happened to mention to someone Welsh that you thought the Mabinogi were written in Middle English, he or she would have to kill you.

And a meme, just because I feel like it: Choose one or two interests from my interest list. Ask me about them.

Friend away - I just friended you. More people need to read Middle English vernacular theology. Although if we stick with the old name and call them Middle English mystics, it sounds less scary to the uninitiated...

And I love your spell-checked Cloud of Unknowing.
