Medieval History
CALL FOR PAPERS*
Paper proposals are invited for
*NATIO SCOTICA*
*The Thirteenth International Conference on *
*Medieval and Renaissance Scottish Language and Literature*
*/ /*
To be hosted by the Università degli Studi di Padova
Italy
22-26 July 2011
The definition of a literary canon in medieval and early modern
Scotland is closely connected with the definition of the Scottish
nation. Attempting an assessment of medieval and early modern
Scottish literature means above all dealing with a definition of this
literature within a strongly defined national context: literature and
nation grow together, and each contributes to the other?s
definition.
Following these suggestions, we welcome papers addressing (but not
necessarily restricted to) the following topics:
- Redefining the canonical in early Scottish literature
- One nation, many languages: issues of language and time range
- New canons of neo-Latin and Gaelic poetry
- Defining Older Scots
- The ongoing circulation and adaptation of Older Scots literature
- A tale of two nations: Scotland and England
- Scottish-Italian relations
- Local cultural centres: the influence of religious, educational,
and legal institutions
- The invention of literary tradition in seventeenth-century Scotland
- Literary and linguistic theories and practices in
seventeenth-century Scotland
- Building a national epic
- Poetry deriving from strands of Protestantism
- Personal and political satire
- The poetry of quietism
- Medieval universities and the progress of learning
Papers should be twenty minutes long. Please send a 500-word abstract
and brief curriculum vitae by 31 August 2010 to:
