New from the Podcast: "Bringing Beowulf to the Page and Stage: Dramatizing the Medieval World" with Dr. Richard Fahey

This month we speak with Dr. Richard Fahey, manager of the Medieval Studies Research Blog and managing book review editor for Religion and Literature, about his recent scholarship on the Old English epic Beowulf. We talk about translating ancient texts for new audiences, the place of puns in poetic performance, and the value of introducing the public to the medieval world through Renaissance Fairs.
