Listen in to a conversation with Dr. Anne Elise Crafton, recent alum of the University of Notre Dame’s Medieval Institute and current postdoctoral fellow, about their recent dissertation, “You Sound Like a Wif: The Representation of Women’s Speech in Old English,” Tolkien’s legacy of creating medievalists, and the difficulties of finding and categorizing every single example of women’s speech in all Old English texts.
Meeting in the Middle Ages is hosted by Will Beattie and Ben Pykare, both Ph.D. candidates at Notre Dame’s Medieval Institute. The podcast is sponsored by the Medieval Institute of the University of Notre Dame and supported by the Medieval Academy of America’s Graduate Student Committee through their Community Building Award.
