Death in Medieval Romance
Death--whether of the hero, a lover, parent, child, traitor, monster,
or simply foot-soldier (and the list could go on)--is a recurrent and
essential feature of romance narratives. It is, almost without
exception, necessary to plot as well as meaning. Death can imply a
final peace or the serving of justice but it might equally trigger off
revenge and more deaths; death initiates narratives and closes them
and, no matter where we turn, the texts are full of dismembered bodies,

While 18th and 19th century women were usually confined to the domestic

Blunt, Gertrude Bell, Amelia Edwards, Freya Stark), to India (Emily Eden,
Fanny Parks), to America (Isabella Bird, Clara Bromley, France Trollope), to
Africa (Mary Kingsley) or to Australia (Daisy Bates) gave rise to

1. Christine Carpenter
This will be a double session, one with papers and one in which we will
show the film Anchoress. We are interested not only in reactions to the
film but also to how Christine Carpenter can be perceived from other
documents, texts, and perspectives. The film session is co-sponsored by
the International Anchoritic Society and the Society for Medieval
Feminist Scholarship.

Call for Submissions: New Writing about Fly Fishing (Collection: updated
deadline 10/21/2005)
As fly fishing drifts downstream into the 21st century, anglers are
faced with over-pressured streams and lakes, declining water quality,
and public indifference. In spite of this, we fish. Why? What do we
get out of it? This proposed collection, Fishing the Angles: New
Writing about Fly Fishing, is looking for works that capture the meaning
and magic (or the lack of meaning and magic) of this most literary of
Outdoor Sports. Though works may well veer off into other areas, fishing
or nature should at least be more than tangential to the story. In
Call for Papers for the 41st Int'l Congress on Medieval Studies,
Kalamazoo, MI, May 4-7 2006:
"Framing, Training and Constraining: Creating an Ideal Reader in the
Later Middle Ages"
Recent meetings of the International Congress have featured panels on
diagrams and codicological devices on the one hand, and on specific
sites and modes of reading on the other. This panel aims to bring
these two strands into a productive tension. We welcome submissions
on the development and transmission of institutional reading
practices as well as papers on the way individual books, circulating
without or beyond institutional support, sought to create ideal
readers more or less on the spot.
