UPDATE: Games and Gaming in Medieval Literature, Kalamazoo 2011
[The deadline for proposals for this panel has been extended to September 25th.]
Game studies is quickly emerging as a popular, interdisciplinary field within the humanities and social sciences, yet medieval scholars are still only beginning to explore the relationship between recreational games and literature from a literary or cultural context. This session seeks to broaden this field of study by focusing on depictions of games and gaming in medieval literature and their relation to recreation in the Middle Ages.
