CFP: THE LITERATURE AND LANDSCAPES OF MEDIEVAL EAST ANGLIA


CFP: THE LITERATURE AND LANDSCAPES OF MEDIEVAL EAST ANGLIA
45th International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, Michigan
13-16 May 2010

This session seeks papers to discuss and analyze the literature,
landscapes, history, and places of medieval East Anglia, as well as other
relevant disciplines such as architecture, theology, ecology, geography, and
sacred and profane spaces. Paper ideas will be accepted from all areas and
periods, including Old English poetry, the outlaw sagas and other literature
of the East Anglian fens, the historical records and chronicles of the
region, the history of invasion from the European continent, female
spiritual authors such as Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe, the
wool-driven economy, and the medieval architecture and urbanization of towns
like Ely, Bury St. Edmonds, and Cambridge. Theoretical approaches of all
kinds will be considered, with special recognition given to studies that
examine the region using space and place theory, landscape and cultural
studies, and eco-critical approaches. By crossing such genre and
disciplinary boundaries this session hopes to begin envisioning the region
in new ways and to reveal new insights on the history, literature, land, and
people of medieval East Anglia.


This session is sponsored by the Saint Louis University Center for Medieval
and Renaissance Studies. Please submit a one-page abstract (for a fifteen or
twenty minute presentation) and a Participant Information Form (
http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html#Paper) to
Justin T. Noetzel at [email protected] by September 15, 2009. Please also
send an email with any relevant questions or comments. Any papers that will
not be included in this session will be forwarded to the Congress Committee
for possible inclusion in the General Sessions.



Thank you,
