In addition to being a superb scholar and very generous colleague, it was Laetitia Yeandle who insisted I meet a visiting scholar at the @FolgerLibrary named Peter Beal (“you both work on manuscripts”). A year later, I married Peter. Much ❤️ to Laetitia.
She was an amazing scholar-librarian and a lovely person - so privileged to have worked with her. Here's the remembrance from her memorial service yesterday.
“While the wider literature from the period tells us that medieval women were silent and passive, quiet and chaste, their letters and embroideries tell a different story”: smithsonianmag.com/history/how-me…
@BLMedieval @britishlibrary Thank you very much, this is extremely helpful! And I’m sorry—I know this isn’t fun for you all, either!
Has anybody on here been working with @britishlibrary manuscripts recently? Is it still possible to order them online? Or does one have to call or email in advance (or pray on the day)?
