Meeting in the Middle Ages is the Medieval Institute of Notre Dame's podcast. Our goal is to answer the questions "what do medievalists do, and how do they do it?" Episodes—a new one each month—are built around informal conversations between our hosts, Ben and Will, and medievalist scholars and graduate students. We discuss how they became medievalists, what led them to their current research, the resources they use, and how they use them.

20: Bringing Beowulf to the Page and the Stage: Dramatizing the Medieval World with Dr. Richard Fahey

This month we speak with Dr. Richard Fahey, manager of the Medieval Studies Research Blog and managing book review editor for Religion and Literature, about his recent scholarship on the Old English epic Beowulf. We talk about translating ancient texts for new audiences, the place of puns in poetic performance, and the value of introducing the public to the medieval world through Renaissance Fairs.
