Medieval History
Now that the Congress organizing committee has posted the Call for
Papers for the 46th International Congress on Medieval Studies, it is my
pleasure to announce two sessions sponsored by the University of
Louisville Medieval Workshop:
I. LAW AND LEGAL CULTURE IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND
Recognizing the extent to which the study of early law has changed over
the last century, this session looks to bring together scholars from a
variety of disciplines to discuss new ways of understanding pre-Conquest
legal culture. As we have in the past, this year also we invite papers
that examine the many ways in which law was made, understood, practiced,
promulgated, and transcribed in the Anglo-Saxon world> We are eager to
receive submissions representing a variety of perspectives
methodologies, and disciplines. Possible topics include (but are not
limited to): royal legislation, legal manuscripts, law in/and
literature, legal procedure, charters and diplomatics, writs and wills,
dispute resolution, theories of law and justice, perceptions of early
law in later periods, and law in/and art.
II. ARCHBISHOP WULFSTAN AND THE SERMO LUPI AD ANGLOS
This session is being organized to mark the approaching 1000th
anniversary (in 2014) of Archbishop Wulfstan's most famous composition,
the Sermo lupi ad Anglos. As recent scholarship has revealed the scope
of Wulfstan's activities as prelate, homilist, legislator, and royal
councilor, scholars have come to understand the Sermo lupi, not as an
isolated composition, but as part of a larger attempt to reshape England
into a "Holy Society." For this session, we seek proposals examining
all aspects of the Sermo lupi itself, its place in the Wulfstanian
canon, as well as its influence of Anglo-Saxon culture generally.
Proposals or questions can be sent via e-mail to
[email protected].
