Medieval Texts Reading Group Winter 2024 Meeting

The UCLA Medieval Texts Reading Group welcomes undergraduate students, graduate students, staff, and faculty interested in medieval literature. On the third Friday of each term, we get together to discuss a text in English translation from across the Global Middle Ages, to think about what it tells us about its cultural and literary context. Each discussion will be led by an expert on the chosen text and its place in the wider medieval world. No preparation or expertise is required – only enthusiasm!

For our Winter 2025 meeting , we will meet on Jan 24, 3:00 – 5:00PM, in Kaplan 193 , and we will read a selection from Gregory of Tours’ Libri historiarum X (Ten Books of History) (in English and in Latin). Join us for a discussion of scandals, revolutions, and unruly nuns, led by Jamie Kreiner (Professor and Robert and Dorothy Wellman Chair in Medieval History). A calendar of planned meetings is HERE. Handouts of each reading will be available during the group, but are also linked in the calendar below and can also be found HERE.
