The next medieval graduate seminar will meet on 28 October in the Board Room in the English Faculty to hear Sara Harris’s paper “Custom and Character in Thomas’ ‘Roman de Horn’”. Dr. Sara Harris is a Junior Research Fellow at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. She works on the multilingual literature of medieval Britain, and particularly on medieval perceptions of language change. Her book manuscript, Still Voices: Twelfth-Century Perceptions of Britain’s Linguistic Past, is currently in preparation for publication. She is now beginning a new project, on the contested portrayals of ancestral law and custom found in romance, legal forgeries, histories, saints’ lives, and poetry from the Becket conflict to the fourteenth century.
