Dr. Adam Smyth and Dr. Isabel Davis will consider obscenity and double entendre in medieval and renaissance literature. They will talk variously about: the resources for researching early puns, some of the serious points behind low comedy, the risks of rudeness, and the complex relationship between coarseness and politeness in the medieval and renaissance past.
