Great 3rd panel! Very interesting and in depth responses to questions 😊 #Textualities19

[Jyoti Foster-Miles @JyotiMiles]

Looking forward to the third panel of #textualities19, which focuses on Reception and Adaptation 😊

Great panel on Cultural Identity: Old World and New. Very dynamic and engaging speakers, I learnt a lot #textualities19

[Jyoti Foster-Miles @JyotiMiles]

Looking forward to talking at Textualities 19 today! With a wide range of topics discussed from both Modernities and Med-Ren literature, it's shaping up to be a great day 😊

In the "see also" section, I added links to the Book of Judith and the Nowell Codex #editwikilit #en6009

[Jyoti Foster-Miles @JyotiMiles]

I have added a section on alliteration and variation, two poetic techniques important to Judith #editwikilit #EN6009

[Jyoti Foster-Miles @JyotiMiles]

Judith contains many of the poetic techniques common to Old English literature. I am adding a section to outline those used #editwikilit #EN6009

@RosemaryKelly96 Wonders is a fascinating text Rosemary, good choice!

@caliburnspeaks You too, Lisa!

[Jyoti Foster-Miles @JyotiMiles]

I'm including a note on the description of Judith as "aelfscinu", which translates to "of elfin beauty". In Anglo-Saxon England, elves were associated with promiscuity and deviousness - an odd way to describe the Lord's servant! #editwikilit #EN6009

[Jyoti Foster-Miles @JyotiMiles]

Judith is a fragment, meaning that a section of the poem is missing. Time to update Wikipedia's information on Judith's fragmentation #editwikilit #EN6009

[Jyoti Foster-Miles @JyotiMiles]

I have added a section on palaeography, including links and citations #EditWikiLit #EN6009

[Jyoti Foster-Miles @JyotiMiles]

I am currently adding a section on the palaeography, codicology and orthography of the Old English Judith. The palaeographical and codicological evidence of such manuscripts is essential to our study of Old English literature #editwikilit #EN6009

[Jyoti Foster-Miles @JyotiMiles]

Time to edit the Wikipedia page for the Old English poem Judith. Watch this space #editwikilit #EN6009
