Hi! Quick question from a medievalist about Crowley's hatred of the 14th century-- do you imagine it's something specific to/ one incident from the 1300s that makes him loathe it so? Or is it just the combination of general religious fervor and lack of technology and cool rock bands that make him resent it? (Or am I just overriding a throwaway joke? One works in subtext so long...) Thanks!

Both Terry and I had read and loved Barbara Tuchman’s A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous Fourteenth Century. And it seemed to us that Crowley would have loved being out of the Fourteenth Century…
