Introducing Medieval Beginnings

From dragons and one-eyed giants to divine visions and friendly otters, Irina Dumitrescu and Mary Wellesley roam the strange and wonderful literary landscape of the Middle Ages, from Beowulf to Sir John Mandeville, by way of Chaucer, Sir Gawain and plenty of far-fetched romance.

Irina Dumitrescu and Mary Wellesley are both writers and historians, and regular contributors to the London Review of Books.
