| Abstract | Medievalism, the study of the impact of the middle ages on later periods, is entering a new phase of consolidation and self-scrutiny.

Participants include Anke Bernau (University of Manchester), John Ganim (University of California, Riverside), Andrew Lynch (University of Western Australia), Jenna Mead (University of Tasmania), Thomas Prendergast (College of Wooster, Ohio), and Larry Scanlon (Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey). |
