CFP for the Writing England Conference

Writing England Conference in 2007, we have expanded the temporal
remit of the conference to exchange ideas about manuscript studies,
material culture, multilingualism in texts and books, book history,
readers, audience and scribes at the heart of the medieval period.
Confirmed speakers: Elaine Treharne (Florida State University),
Jocelyn Wogan-Browne (University of York) and Tony Edwards (De
Montfort University, Leicester).
CALL FOR PAPERS
We welcome paper proposals from scholars working on writers, book
production and use of, and responses to texts in Latin, Insular
French and English from the eleventh to the fourteenth-century.
Please send a title and abstract (maximum 150 words) for a 20-minute
