Oh what's this? Just a shiny new poster for the Biennial London Chaucer Conference, on 'Chaucer and Europe', 28th-29th June. Programme is up online and registration is OPEN! ies.sas.ac.uk/events/confere…
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
Turner: Politically, Chaucer was always on the side of internationalism #europechaucer
Turner: Chaucer did not have to visit mainland Europe in order to live a European life - thanks to the European influence on London #europechaucer
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
You can buy her book ‘Chaucer: A European Life’ from @PrincetonUPress here: press.princeton.edu/titles/1…
And you can read Julia Boffey’s sparkling review, ‘The Author’s Tale’ for @TheTLS here: google.co.uk/amp/s/www.the-t…
@lukaempf who is now discussing the multilingual language of love in Troilus and Criseyde #Europechaucer
Shameless plug but if you want more from @lukaempf check out her article in the Open Library of the Humanities special edition on medieval water: olh.openlibhums.org/collecti… #EuropeChaucer
After an incredibly moving reading from @PatienceAgbabi we’re now moving onto parallel sessions - European afterlives and European translations! #europechaucer

A truly multicultural, multicoloured motley crew - @PatienceAgbabi discusses her fabulous Chaucer remix and it’s pilgrims, ‘Telling Tales’#Europechaucer
Eleanor Myerson makes her conference debut, reflecting on Mamluk Spices and Medieval Digestion #EuropeChaucer
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

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!
And now Stephanie Trigg discusses ‘cloudes of sorwe’: Emotion, Gender, Sensibility and the Weather in Chaucer’s ‘Boece’ and ‘Troilus and Criseyde’ #europechaucer
Why tell a romance? Mickey Sweeney asks in a paper on political bodies #europechaucer
