So much has changed between the opera—gone are the days when my predecessor Otto Gründler shut up in a suitcase an incessantly ringing telephone so he could attend to business. Gone, too, are the Saturday night banquets in the Bernhard Center, which I remember for dreadful food and sparkling conversation. There is cause for nostalgia as we near fifty, no doubt, but like many of the middle-aged, we continue to believe our best years are yet before us. So in our annual spirit of renewal, I invite you to find your way to Kalamazoo once more so that in the fine spring weather you can again learn and teach about the Middle Ages. The 49th International Congress on Medieval Studies will bring together a large and varied host of medievalists at long-accustomed venues. The Valley III cafeteria and adjoining rooms will host booksellers, vendors, and their wares; cafeteria meals will be served in Valley II’s dining hall. Schneider Hall and the Bernhard Center will also have cafés offering food and drink every day but Sunday, with the hours of the Schneider Café extended in 2014. The downtown Radisson Plaza hotel will again be our chief off-campus lodging choice. Those seeking off-campus lodging at Congress rates must use Discover Kalamazoo’s online centralized booking system (follow the link from the Congress website). Registration for on-campus housing, as always, remains part of the Congress registration process. Friday and Saturday mornings will commence with plenary speakers: this year’s Medieval Academy plenarist is Susan L. Einbinder of the University of Connecticut, who will address us on “The Libel of the Lamb: Violence and Medieval Metaphor.” On Saturday, Anne Walters Robertson of the University of Chicago will talk on “What They Read, What They Saw, What They Heard: Composers and Sacred Music in Late Medieval Culture.” We are grateful to Boydell & Brewer for once again sponsoring the Saturday plenary. Each year’s Congress is the result of much shared work by many people. My thanks go especially to the many volunteers who organized Sponsored and Special Sessions and who chair the General Sessions. The Medieval Institute’s students and staff always provide heroic service, especially Liz Teviotdale (Assistant Director), Lisa Carnell (Congress Coordinator), Theresa Whitaker (Exhibits Coordinator), Tom Krol (Production Editor), and Roland Black, Sam Dobberstein, Mary Helen Galluch, Robin J. Henley, Charles Lein, Lance Martin, Ian Mumpton and Benjamin Wright. I look forward to seeing you in May 2014. Cordially, James M. Murray, Director The Medieval Institute v Registration Everyone attending the Congress, including participants, exhibitors, and accompanying family members, must register for the Congress. The Medieval Institute encourages the use of the online registration system for clarity, expediency, and convenience. Attendees may also register by mail or by fax using the printed Registration Form, which is available as a PDF file on the Congress website, but those registering by mail or fax pay a $25.00 handling fee. Questions regarding registration should be directed to [email protected]. Registration fees are $140.00 (regular) and $85.00 (student and each accompanying family member). Pre-registration registration closes on April 23. Registration fees are not refundable after April 23. All attendees registering after April 23, including all on-site registrants, pay a $50.00 late fee. PRE-REGISTRATION Online: A link to the secure server can be found on the Congress website. Those using online registration must pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or Discover). The system emails you a confirmation that your registration request was received. If you do not receive the expected confirmation email message, you probably are not registered for the Congress. Please direct questions to [email protected]. Please be sure that all information is complete and correct. By mail ($25.00 handling fee): Fill out the Registration Form, using the PDF file available on the Congress website. Mail it, together with your check, money order, or credit card information, before April 23 to: Congress Registration c/o Miller Auditorium Western Michigan University 1903 W. Michigan Avenue Kalamazoo, MI 49008-5344 If you would like confirmation of registration, please include a self-addressed, stamped postcard in your mailing. By fax ($25.00 handling fee): Fill out the Registration Form, using the PDF file available on the Congress website. Fax it, including your credit card information, before April 24 to Miller Auditorium at 269-387-2362. vi Registration PAYMENT We can accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover for credit card payments, but we cannot process American Express or electronic transfer of funds. Only checks or money orders in US dollars made payable to the Medieval Institute are accepted. Any checks or money orders sent in currencies other than US dollars will be returned. All charges are due at the time of registration. Receipts are issued at the Congress. Checks and money orders made out in an incorrect amount and illegible and incorrect credit card numbers hold up the registration process. Please sign your check and write in the current date. Post-dated checks cannot be accepted. All who attend sessions, give papers or preside over sessions, or take part in panels, visit the exhibits, or otherwise attend the Congress and participate in its activities must register. The Congress Committee reserves the right to deny future participation in the Congress to those who do not register properly and further reserves the right to refer to the university’s collection services any unpaid bills. PRE-REGISTRATION PACKETS Pre-registered attendees will find their packet of conference materials, including a receipt, available for pickup at Congress registration in the Eldridge-Fox lobby (Goldsworth Valley III) upon arrival. On-campus housing assignments are given at that time. LATE REGISTRATION Congress attendees may register upon arrival but are assessed a $50.00 late registration fee. Registration is available in the Eldridge-Fox lobby. Please note that on-campus housing may no longer be available to on-site registrants. Any rooms booked to on-site registrants will be billed at the single rate, although two attendees who want to share a room may do so. REFUNDS Refunds for registration fees, housing, and meals are made only if Miller Auditorium has received notification of cancellation by April 23. No refunds are made after that date. vii On-Campus Housing On-campus housing is provided in the co-ed residence halls of the Goldsworth Valley I, II, and III complexes. Registration for on-campus housing is a part of the Congress registration process. Rates are $36.00 per night for a single room and $30.50 per person per night for a double for those who pre-register for the Congress. Any rooms booked to on-site registrants will be billed at the single rate, although two attendees who want to share a room may do so. All on-campus rooms will be singles unless specific requests are received for double rooms, with roommate specified at the time of registration. No changes are accepted after our receipt of registration. Please make your travel arrangements first and indicate special housing requests at the time of registration. Every effort is made to accommodate timely housing requests, but keep in mind that not every request can be fulfilled. If you and a colleague request sharing a double room, we must be in receipt of both registrations before a room assignment will be made. If you and a colleague or colleagues request sharing an adjoining bathroom (i.e., ask to be suitemates), we must be in receipt of all registrations before room assignments will be made. Room assignments are indicated on the pre-registration packet, and keys are picked up at registration in the Eldridge-Fox lobby. Rooms may be reserved for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights of the Congress, but neither earlier nor later. The campus housing offered through the Congress is designed for undergraduate use, i.e., for individuals 17–22 years of age, and bathrooms are usually shared. Those who require hotel amenities such as air-conditioning, refrigerators, and private bathrooms will find them at area hotels, where rooms can be booked through Discover Kalamazoo’s centralized hotel booking system. Western Michigan University is, under the laws of the State of Michigan, a smoke-free facility. Please respect Michigan law. In 2014, smoking is permitted outdoors at specified distances from university buildings. In 2015, WMU will be an entirely tobacco-free campus.

As well as featuring challenging new articles, each issue includes an analytical survey by a leading international medievalist of recent work in an emerging or established field.

  • THE PUTMANS of Navarro County Texas
    UPDATED FEBRUARY 14, 2012 THE PUTMANS of Navarro County Texas Anson Putman was a son of John Putman and Lucy Covington of Rutherford County North Carolina. He was born there in 1814. He traveled with his family to Morgan County Alabama as a young child and was there before 1820. He married Hester Royer in Morgan County on December 27, 1832. Hester was born in Jefferson County Tennessee December 17, 1815. She was a daughter of Charles Royer and Darcus Daniel. Anson was a Methodist Clergyman. Sometime in the early 1860s he left Lawrence County Alabama for Maury County Tennessee. He died in Maury County on March 25, 1865. Hester was listed as a widow in the 1870 Maury County Tennessee census. Hester, and several sons moved west to settle in Texas about 1873. Hester and the kids were in Texas by 1874. In the 1880 census we find Hester at age 65 living with her son John Putman who was 39 but widowed. Also there are her sons Wesley Putman and Anderson Putman and their families. Anderson is Charles Anderson. He is listed as Charles in Alabama and also Charles A. in 1900. Hester died in Navarro County Texas on April 23, 1895 and is buried in the Liberty Hill Cemetery.

  • Medieval-Congress-Call-2018
    Call for Papers 53rd International Congress on Medieval Studies Introduction May 10-13, 2018 A Word from the Director of the Medieval Institute Last year’s Congress was a success in many ways and for that I am glad. One area, however, was not so successful: notifying attendees that the blankets historically provided would no longer be included. I regret having opted for a too subtle announcement and, thus, want to assure you that, henceforth, information that has an impact on attendees will be communicated more visibly and in a timely manner. Let me turn to good news for this coming Congress. Our plenary speakers are Sara Ritchey (Univ. of Tennessee–Knoxville), sponsored by the Medieval Academy of America, and William Chester Jordan (Princeton Univ.), sponsored by Cornell University Press. I look forward to seeing all of you at the 2018 Congress. Jana K. Schulman Professor of English Director, The Medieval Institute The Congress Academic Program The core of the Congress is the academic program, which consists of three broad types of sessions: Sponsored Sessions are organized by learned societies, associations, institutions, and research projects. The organizers set predetermined topics, usually reflecting the considered aims and interests of the organizing group. Special Sessions are organized by individual scholars and ad hoc groups. The organizers set predetermined topics, which are often narrowly focused. General Sessions are organized by the Congress Committee at the Medieval Institute. Topics include all areas of medieval studies, with individual session topics determined by the topics of abstracts submitted and accepted. Papers considered for inclusion in General Sessions comprise: • those proposed directly to the Congress Committee by the September 15 deadline • paper proposals forwarded to the Medieval Institute by organizers of Sponsored and Special Sessions who were unable to include the papers in their sessions This call for papers includes all Sponsored and Special Sessions approved by the Congress Committee.
