This month, I'll be reading parts of the Ormulum, which is one of the best, perhaps only comprehensive examples of Early Middle English written down as it was spoken in the Twelfth Century. My goals in reading parts of the Ormulum are to further develop my 12th Century persona by being able to speak and write some of the Middle English from that period. There are a few different opportunities for incorporating this into my persona, from small things like email signatures and written correspondence, but also going as far as potentially writing my own poetry, song or prose in Early Middle English. Alas, the first book I found did not have translation, only the original text, so I will keep searching for now. I will try to post an update on this project when more is available.
