Bitching about Medieval LiteratureAuthor: Gwen verch David
Bitching about Medieval Literature is a podcast that reads medieval literature in translation with accompanying commentary, complaints, explanatory notes, and, well...bitching. In season 1, we read The Decameron, a 14th century Italian story collection set during the Black Death. In season 2, we read a collection of 12th-14th century Welsh stories that draw on folklore, Arthuriana, and Celtic mythology. There's also bonus episodes!

Thursday, 22 July, 2021
To wrap up the podcast, this episode celebrates the wonderful work of translators, in particular, the wonderful work of Maria Devana Headley in 'Beowulf: A New Translation'. With a mixture of poetry extracts and prose summaries, we tell the story of Beowulf, AND nerd out about translation, all in under an hour. WARNINGS: Some gore in the various monster fights
