I met Anglo-Saxon scholar Chris Monk at the International Congress on Medieval Studies back in May. We chatted over dinner, and now, having read my book, he’s posted this Q&A with me on his new blog site. Do read some of his other posts as well. The one about the Bayeux Tapestry erection is great fun.

Patricia Bracewell is a great cure for the common cold. Not that my cold was some ordinary Man Flu. We’re talking Anglo-Saxon epic proportions here!
