Text reading. Michaela Jacques will discuss the compilation, transmission, and reception of Welsh bardic grammars, vernacular treatises that present information about the Welsh language and rules for the composition of strict-metre poetry. She will trace the variety of ways in which these documents were put to use between the fourteenth century and the end of the sixteenth, and what this may reveal to us about how Welsh bardic, scholarly, and bureaucratic practices developed during a period of intense social and political change.
Today, 5:30 pm: Michaela Jacques: "Bardic Grammars as Windows into Late Medieval and Early Modern Wales"

Beginning tomorrow: PIMS Medieval Women Workshop VII: "Sisters, Leaders, Writers and Readers," with keynote speakers • Ann Dooley: “Brigid of Kildare: revisiting the great saint of Spring” and • Laura Gathagan: “An army of saints: Mathilda of Flanders”
