And that’s all folks - thanks to all our wonderful speakers, chairs and attendees for a really productive and exciting couple of days, and for your participation in conversations that we hope will continue beyond the borders of this conference in a myriad of ways! #europechaucer

Take that Brexit! Marion Turner delivers a swift sharp blow to the Englishness of Chaucer in favour of a European man of mystery in her long awaited plenary lecture #EuropeChaucer @London_Chaucer

[London_Chaucer @London_Chaucer]

Turner: Politically, Chaucer was always on the side of internationalism #europechaucer

[London_Chaucer @London_Chaucer]

Turner: Chaucer did not have to visit mainland Europe in order to live a European life - thanks to the European influence on London #europechaucer

[London_Chaucer @London_Chaucer]

Was Chaucer chic? Turner says yes! #europechaucer #chicchaucer

[Dr Hetta Howes @HettaHowes]

Can’t believe it’s almost at an end! But first, there’s an excited buzz in the room for Marion Turner’s keynote ‘Chaucer’s European Life’ #europechaucer

After an incredibly moving reading from @PatienceAgbabi we’re now moving onto parallel sessions - European afterlives and European translations! #europechaucer

[Dr Hetta Howes @HettaHowes]

A truly multicultural, multicoloured motley crew - @PatienceAgbabi discusses her fabulous Chaucer remix and it’s pilgrims, ‘Telling Tales’#Europechaucer

[London_Chaucer @London_Chaucer]

And she offers a new spicey reading of the Miller’s Tale and Alison as sweet cinnamon. I wish my first paper had been this persuasive and entertaining! #Europechaucer

[London_Chaucer @London_Chaucer]

Eleanor Myerson makes her conference debut, reflecting on Mamluk Spices and Medieval Digestion #EuropeChaucer

A summer cold has confined me to my room, domb as any stoun, but hugely enjoyed speaking at @London_Chaucer yesterday! #EuropeChaucer , like the @NCS_Chaucer in Toronto, had a wonderful atmosphere - inclusive, encouraging, deeply learned. Thanks!
