About the Book

There are people involved. That's the first mistake. Scientists were never meant to be part of history. Anything in the past is better studied from the present. It's safer. When a team of Australian scientists - and a lone historian - travel back to St-Guilhem-le-Desert in 1305 they discover being impartial, distant and objective just doesn't work when you're surrounded by the smells, dust and heat of a foreign land. They're only human after all. But by the time Artemisia is able to convince others that it's time to worry, it's already too late. Viscerally powerful, deeply felt, strongly written: Langue[dot]doc 1305 challenges reader expectations of time travel, of Grim-dark and of mediaeval life and brings a haunting, authentic voice both to the past and to the struggles facing the present.- Kari Sperring, author of Living With Ghosts

Review :
1. "Quirky, brilliant, absolutely solidly researched--/Langue[dot]doc 1305/ is time travel as you've never seen it before." Judith Tarr, author The Avaryan Chronicles 2.'Viscerally powerful, deeply felt, strongly written: Langue[dot]doc 1305 challenges reader expectations of time travel, of 'Grim-dark' and of mediaeval life and brings a haunting, authentic voice both to the past and to the struggles facing the present." Kari Sperring, author The Grass King's Concubine 3. "Polack depicts with startling authenticity exactly how unromantic the oft-imagined but rarely realized medieval period is and, with parallel bleakness, comment on the state of academia and the appreciation for scholasticism and the humanities in modern society." Alexandra Garner, Medievally Speaking 4. "In Langue [dot] doc 1305 Polack marries her deep knowledge as a Medievalist to a favourite SF trope - time travel to the days of knights, lords and peasants - and then does her usual magic of transforming the ordinary into the profound." Narrelle Harris, author The Opposite of Life 5. "Funny, disturbing, humane and beautifully written. It's elegant and restrained and it sidesteps every trope and stereotype you might expect to encounter in an SF novel about time traveling scientists. Literary science fiction in its best." Jason Franks, author Faery Apocalypse 6. "A time-slip from the present back to 1305 sounds marvellously exciting - until the reality of medieval time intrudes, along with the realisation that the people the scientists are studying are, in fact, people, not specimens." Felicity Pulman, author Ghost Boy
