For the final project result of my London trip, I am researching a pewter flagon made in England but owned by a Massachusetts church in the 1790s. Right now I am still in that "what the heck am I doing??" project stage. This is becoming a theme in my grad school life. I assemble many facts and then try to organize them in a choherent fashion. Anyone else ever feel this way?
On Thursday I will be giving a 12 minute presentation about my amazing flagon knowledge. I am tempted just to show this 10 minute classic film clip and call it a day. I could argue that the tounge-twisting confusion over chalices, flagons, palaces, and poison symbolizes England's chaotic religious identity and frequently changing liturgical practices. Plus Danny Kaye as The Court Jester always makes people laugh.
