The Book Club: Amy Jeffs

Amy Jeffs, a talented writer, artist, and historian, dives into the enchanting realm of medieval saints in her new book. She discusses how the Reformation led to the loss of vibrant cultural elements, including swearing. The difference between magic and miracles takes center stage, alongside a humorous French fable that reveals human nature through whimsical wishes. Jeffs also explores the erosion of oaths and meanings after the Reformation and reflects on reclaiming medieval narratives as a crucial part of our cultural memory.
