"I want you to paint your catapult! I want you to name your catapult! I want you to love your catapult!" instructed John Wineburg, director of the Medieval Survivor Tournament at Adventureland Day Camp.
Beowulf is in Old English. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is in Middle English.
Old English requires some special effort to read and understand; it really is a different language. Middle English is much closer to our own Modern English, albeit with funny spelling. You can get a good idea of how different Old and Middle English are by looking at the Lord's Prayer in Middle and Old English. You can hear some Chaucer read in Middle English here, and some Beowulf in Old English (or Anglo-Saxon) here. If you're curious about learning Old English, take a look at Michael Drout's nicely done King Alfred's Grammar Book, and Catherine Ball's Old English Pages. For those interested in learning more about Middle English and Chaucer, take a look at Larry Benson's site.
But remember: Chaucer wrote in Middle English.
As best I can determine, any money you donate will go entirely to quake/tsunami relief. If you'd rather, you can donate to the Red Cross/Red Crescent via Amazon with a single click. The British Red Cross page, with a direct donation link is here. Oxfam UK is here. CNN has a list of sites from agencies accepting donations here. If you're thinking of buying something from Amazon, do it via Crooked Timber; they're donating all their Amazon commissions to relief.
You'd be amazed at how hard it is to find information about the yogh. First, I've managed to learn that Unicode 4.0 Latin Extended B does indeed have both an upper and a lower case yogh, a yogh is that not an ezh. Take a look, if your browser supports Unicode 4.0 characters: an uppercase yogh Ȝ or U+021C and a lower case yogh ȝ or U+021D. And there are even Mac OS X fonts that support yogh as part of the Unicode character set (I particularly like Junicode). That's the good news.
The problem is that the only word processor (versus text editor) for Mac OS X that supports the complete Unicode character set, and by "supports" I mean I can use Insert from the Character Palette, or hex encode the character, is Nisus Writer Express. Microsoft Word X does not, since the character is a Unicode character; neither MarinerWrite nor AppleWorks 6.x support Unicode only characters. The problem with Nisus Writer Express is that it doesn't support footnotes, and the more esoteric formatting dissertations require. Mellel looks promising though, and I have hopes for true Unicode support in Microsoft Word 11. My ultimate plan is to create a custom keyboard layout, so I can easily access the characters I need. But I'm still going to check out LaTex.
There is a glyph in Middle English called the yogh.You can see a manuscript version of a yogh here. The yogh was used almost exclusively for Middle English in England, but it lingered through the eighteenth century in Scotland. The yogh, along with the thorn, another of the four special medieval English characters, is used in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Sir Orfeo , two core texts for my dissertation.
Unfortunately, there is no yogh in Unicode. There should be; the other Medieval English characters are represented in Unicode. I'm not sure why there isn't yogh, but there's a very good discussion of why there should be a yogh in Unicode by Michael Everson.
I'm not alone in my desperate craving for a proper Unicode yogh; you can see some of the efforts others dealing with manuscripts on the web have had to make in order to substitute for the yogh. Here's a scholar trying to present an edition of the Ormulum, and here's the wonderful online edition and facsimile of the Auchinleck manuscript. Both of these examples (and I could give many more) are substituting other characters for the yogh. This sort of substitution is really not a long-term solution.
We need a yogh, in Unicode.
Metafilter brings us this Flash 6 driven "Historic Tale Construction Kit" which allows you to assemble comic style frame-by-frame stories with text and images, add them to a gallery to email them to friends. The images are taken from the Bayeux Tapestry, itself constructed to celebrate the victories of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
If you're coming from MetaFilter, or more specifically, MetaTalk, my main site, Celtic Studies Resources, emphasizes Celtic medieval studies. But there are a number of more general links on things medieval there, in the Resources section. There are also some good meta sites on things medieval. Labryinth is one. Orb is another. I'm rather fond of Websites Medievalists Should Know. There are a few others listed in my bio.
