Britain's What's On Event Guide
Story Jam: Silencec
In the whole World, only one manuscript unfolds the Roman de Silence.
Written in 13th century by Heldris of Cornwall, it was discovered in an old English manor house in 1911, in a box marked ‘Old Papers, No Value’.
But suffrage protests were at their height, and this epic tale centres on a gender-fluid minstrel-warrior, whose mere existence challenges the order of a society in which women are subordinate to men.
So, the legend was silenced once more.
