The Congress will take place Thursday-Sunday, May 5-8, 2005 on the campus of Western Michigan University under the sponsorship of the Medieval Institute. As is the custom, formal sessions and related Congress programs will survey the multiple aspects of our common discipline. These many and varied opportunities for intellectual exchange will mark the current state of research and suggest future directions, while giving both established scholars and younger members of the profession an opportunity to present their work. Those of you who have read this formulaic opening over the years know that my next rhetor ical move is to begin a recitation of the special features of the coming May meeting and any sig nificant changes from the established pattern. I had expected to point out to you that the Congress had made it to the age of 40, almost literally at times by hook or by crook, and that every regis trant who comes to the table will receive a special booklet that marks the anniversary with remi niscences and recollections by veterans and newcomers. Now I must also add the unexpected and the unplanned for. Perhaps most of you know that Otto Grundler died on September 12. Otto's positive spirit presided over the Congress during periods of difficulty and periods of promise in his twenty years as Director, but he never wavered in his generosity and openness to all. We shall miss him. To accompany the "Book of 40" the Congress Committee will issue a small remembrance for Otto's many friends. For other Ottonian elements in this program book see pp. v, xxvii, and xxxvii. The major change this year is the flip-flop of the Exhibits Hall and the Dining Hall: the Valley III cafeteria and adjacent rooms will host our booksellers and vendors, while Valley II cafe teria will serve Congress meals for the first time in its history. The change reflects the pattern of use by undergraduate students that obtained this past academic year. For the first time in recent years all three Goldsworth Valley residence halls will be available for Congress participants. The pattern of plenary lectures on Friday and Saturday mornings has not changed. Jan M. Ziolkowski (Harvard Univ.) will offer the traditional Medieval Academy plenary, this year "Mastering Authority and Authorizing Mastery in the Long Twelfth Century" on Friday. A. C. Spearing (Univ. of Virginia) will talk on "The Medieval Textual 'I.'" For details see p. xviii. The Congress Committee is grateful to Boydell & Brewer for their continuing sponsorship of the Saturday plenary. Evening activities include one special performance and a schedule of medievalist films. The internationally acclaimed Lionheart will take us back to "Paris 1200," which is a program of chant and polyphony reflecting the group's signature repertoire (see p. xix). Be sure to order your tickets in advance when you register. The three films—The Court Jester (1956), Knights of the Round Table (1953), and Stealing Heaven (1989)—are free at Kirsch Auditorium (Fetzer 1005), with discussions of the second and third films at 10:00 on the following mornings. Page xvii summarizes the film festival and related program activities. You will find details regarding registration, housing, meals, transportation, exhibits, comput ers, etc. in the following white pages of this program book, pp. vi-ix. The white pages give infor mation pertinent to this year's Congress; the blue pages offer information about the Congress in general; and the yellow pages introduce one and all to select programs at the Medieval Institute, especially The Medieval Review and the Master of Arts Program in Medieval Studies. As we move closer to May, you should consult the Congress' ever-changing WorldWideWeb site: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress. Much of the information you find in this program will be available on the web, as will updates, changes, and additions. Browse our site to find even more about the Institute's activities. ill The Congress Committee asks your cooperation in registering before the April 15 deadline. In recent years we have been unable to manage the number of participants who come to register onsite. More than 300 people walked on in 2004, causing delays for many others and overwhelm ing the staff with those details of registration that can be best managed in advance. Like other major scholarly venues the Institute must now initiate a two-tiered registration system that includes a late fee for those registering onsite and after April 15 ($25.00). As we did last year, we must restrict mailing of the Congress program book. All participants whose names appear in the program book will be sent copies. Other registrants from outside the U.S. may pick up their pro gram books at the Congress registration desk. Program books will be mailed to all U.S. addresses on the Congress mailing list. Program books may also be ordered from Medieval Institute Publications ($20, including shipping) by following the links on the Congress website (http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress), which also provides an online copy of the program book. As last year, our registration fee increase is a minimal one, and we have kept housing and meal rates as low as we can. The Congress Committee also asks for your cooperation at the Saturday Night Dance. The State of Michigan and/or WMU campus regulations require that you be 21 years of age to con sume alcohol and 21 to be present where alcohol is being served, and that you be ready to prove your age with a photo i.d., which you have with you. The Dance is not an open party. It is a social function for those who have registered. Accordingly, you must be ready to show your Congress badge. Once again the Congress is working with the Kalamazoo County Convention and Visitors Bureau to offer a centralized booking service for local hotels available off our website. Congress participants should find the one-stop for off-campus hotels easy too work with. See p. xiv for more information. The renovated Radisson remains our main hotel, this year offering a limited number of one-bedroom suites at a special Congress rate. We welcome Country Inn & Suites and Super 8, which join Lees Inn, Hawthorn Suites, and Holiday Inn-West as official hotels. I would like to thank the scores of medievalists who volunteered to chair General Sessions for the 2005 Congress and the colleagues who organized Special and Sponsored Sessions, more than 90% of the total sessions. They help us immeasurably. I am grateful to many within the Institute for their special efforts on the 40th: Liz Teviotdale (Assistant Director), especially for continuing to upgrade Congress operations, and Lisa Carnell for controlling the many details that she must face, as well as their assistants, Erik Carlson, Terri Jenkins-Suggs, Amanda Madden, Elisabeth McCaffery, Bryan VanGinhoven, Melissa Williams, as well as Judy Krane-Calvert, Linda Judy (whose designs make us thrive), and Candy Porath (whose hard work makes the exhibit hall pos sible). My thanks also go to Michael VanPutten (from the Office of Information Technology) and James Gregory for their work on our Congress program website, which should be up and running before you read these words in print. See you in May in the lobby of Eldridge-Fox—we are still there. Paul E. Szarmach, Director The Medieval Institute, 104E Walwood Hall Western Michigan University 1903 W.

  • Chaucer and Bawdy
    Chaucer and Bawdy G. R. Simes RANCE. Had you committed the act you wouldn't now be facing the charge. PRENTICE. I couldn't commit the act. I'm a heterosexual. RANCE. I wish you wouldn't use these Chaucerian words. It's most confusing. Joe Onon, What the Butler Saw (1969), p. 55. The reputation of a medieval poet is such that a successful dramatist of the 1960s could rely on the mere mention of his name to convey to the audience of the play the ideas of naughtiness and bawdy. Presumably the expansion of senior-secondary and tertiary education after World War II, the gradual relaxation of sexual mores, and the ready availability of a lively translation of the Canterbury Tales had all been factors_ that contributed to a popular dissemination of Chaucer's reputation for bawdiness. If that is so, it occurred in the absence of scholarly activity and interest in the topic. It is true that Chaucer shares with Shakespeare the singular honour of having a book devoted to his bawdy; yet that book was published as recently as 1972 and, modelling itself on Partridge's pioneering work on Shakespeare, takes the form of discursive glosses, apart from a brief, conceptually uncritical introduction. I In general, before the later 1960s, while many medievalists privately took pleasure in Chaucer's treatment of sexual and excretory matters, they did not write upon this aspect of his work with the same unembarrassed candour that the poet himself had shown. Among general readers this aspect of Chaucer, and to an extent Chaucer's very name, was very often an occasion for sniggering.

  • LEARNING FOCUS 1: the Communion of Saints: Showing People What God Is Like
    LEARNING FOCUS 1: The Communion of Saints: showing people what God is like. We have just heard about Eric and the kindness he shows to his family. He is part of the worldwide community we all belong to. Christians, whether they are living on earth or in heaven, belong to what is called the Communion of Saints. Communion means to belong together and saints are those who follow God’s way. They show us something about God. They may be kind, generous, loving, faithful, forgiving and caring. In the first letter of St John, where he is encouraging his readers to follow God’s way, he offers some ideas about how we can all become a bit more like God, a saint: See what great love the Father has for us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! Dear friends, we are already children of God, we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. Everyone who has this hope in Christ, will try to be loving and kind and keep away from anything that is wrong. 1 John 3:1−3 God’s Story 3, page 149. We are all called to be saints and there are some people who are given a special title of saint because of the life they have led. These saints may have a special feast day during the year like St Andrew, St David, St Francis or St Margaret. On 1 November every year the Church celebrates the Feast of All Saints, that is all the holy women and men who have followed God’s way.

  • Tolkien's Women: the Medieval Modern in the Lord of the Rings
    Tolkien’s Women: The Medieval Modern in The Lord of the Rings Jon Michael Darga Tolkien’s Women: The Medieval Modern in The Lord of the Rings by Jon Michael Darga A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2014 © 2014 Jon Michael Darga For my cohort, for the support and for the laughter Acknowledgements My thanks go, first and foremost, to my advisor Andrea Zemgulys. She took a risk agreeing to work with a student she had never met on a book she had no academic experience in, and in doing so she gave me the opportunity of my undergraduate career. Andrea knew exactly when to provide her input and when it was best to prod and encourage me and then step out of the way; yet she was always there if I needed her, and every book that she recommended opened up a significant new argument that changed my thesis for the better. The independence and guidance she gave me has resulted in a project I am so, so proud of, and so grateful to her for. I feel so lucky to have had an advisor who could make me laugh while telling me how badly my thesis needed work, who didn’t judge me when I came to her sleep-deprived or couldn’t express myself, and who shared my passion through her willingness to join and guide me on this ride. Her constant encouragement kept me going. I also owe a distinct debt of gratitude to Gillian White, who led my cohort during the fall semester.

  • Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London
    Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London Christine Winter Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London Royal Holloway, University of London, 2012 2 Declaration I, Christine Winter, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 3 Abstract In the history of crime and punishment the prisons of medieval London have generally been overlooked. This may have been because none of the prison records have survived for this period, yet there is enough information in civic and royal documents, and through archaeological evidence, to allow a reassessment of London’s prisons in the later middle ages. This thesis begins with an analysis of the purpose of imprisonment, which was not merely custodial and was undoubtedly punitive in the medieval period. Having established that incarceration was employed for a variety of purposes the physicality of prison buildings and the conditions in which prisoners were kept are considered. This research suggests that the periodic complaints that London’s medieval prisons, particularly Newgate, were ‘foul’ with ‘noxious air’ were the result of external, rather than internal, factors. Using both civic and royal sources the management of prisons and the abuses inflicted by some keepers have been analysed. This has revealed that there were very few differences in the way civic and royal prisons were administered; however, there were distinct advantages to being either the keeper or a prisoner of the Fleet prison. Because incarceration was not the only penalty available in the enforcement of law and order, this thesis also considers the offences that constituted a misdemeanour and the various punishments employed by the authorities.

  • Malory's Launcelot and Guinevere Abed Togydirs Betsy Taylor
    Malory's Launcelot and Guinevere abed togydirs Betsy Taylor In Malory's account of the ambush of Launcelot in Guinevere's chamber he obliquely denies the authority of his sources: For, as the Freynshhe booke seyth, the quene and sir Launcelot were k>gydirs. And whether they were abed other at other maner of disportis, me lyste nat thereof make no mencion, for love that tyme was nat as love ys nowadayes.1 · Both his sources put Launcelot and Guinevere abed,2 but Malory says he prefers not to discuss the matter ('me lyste nat thereof make no mencion'); instead he links the lovers' activities here with the love he anatomizes, however cumbersomely, at the beginning of 'The Knight of the Cart' episode: But the olde love was nat so. For men and women coude love togydirs seven yerys, and no lycoures lustis was betwyxte them, and than was love trouthe and faythefulnes. And so in lyke wyse was used such love in kynge Arthurs dayes. (p. 1120, II. 2...{1) The benefit of Malory's reticence is twofold: he places (or attempts to place) the lovers beyond contemporary criticism, 'for love that tyme was nat as love ys nowadayes'; and he ensures that the image of Launcelot which dominates in this episode is that of the 'noble knyght' who 'toke hys swerde undir hys arme, and so he walked in hys mantell ... and put hymselff in grete jouparte' (p. 1165, 11. 5-7). In Malory's version of the episode we pass from this image to 'Madame,' seyde sir Launcelot, 'ys there here ony armour within you that myght cover my body wythall?' (p.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
