Medieval History
Call for Papers: Capital and Corporal Punishment in Anglo-Saxon England
44th International Congress on Medieval Studies
7-10 May 2009
Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo MI
Execution, mutilation, and bodily punishment permeate our understanding of
Anglo-Saxon judicial practice. In addition to the Old English law codes
that prescribe death and mutilation for criminal offenders, physical
penalties figure prominently in biblical exegesis and theological
discourse, in hagiographical and literary texts, in works of art, and in
the archaeology of the pre-Conquest landscape.
This session will offer an interdisciplinary approach to the role of
capital and corporal punishment in Anglo-Saxon England. We seek papers
that consider the legal, practical, theological, and ethical
considerations that surrounded the sentencing of offenders. Explorations
of individual penalties, specific texts, artistic or archaeological
evidence, or the wider context of physical punishment are also welcome.
Please submit abstracts for twenty-minute papers by 15 September to:
