Insular Romance Conference 2024
« Beyond Borders »
Proposals for the 2024 Medieval Insular Romance conference are now warmly encouraged.
Plenary talks will given by Raluca Radulescu (Bangor University) and Síf Rikharðsdóttir (University of Iceland)
Guillemette Bolens (University of Geneva)
Sofia Lodén (Stockholm University)
(Strasbourg - 9-11 April 2024)
Papers may address any aspect of romance composed in any of the languages of medieval Britain and Ireland, as well as insular romance’s engagement with continental texts and traditions. The focus of this conference series has traditionally been on non-Arthurian, non-Chaucerian romances that have tended to receive less exposure elsewhere. Papers addressing connections between Insular romance and European romance or inter-generic affinities or overlap are particularly welcome, in line with the theme of this conference. Proposals for 20-minute papers, complete sessions, or roundtables should be sent to Morgan Dickson and Fanny Moghaddassi.
Proposals should include: name, affiliation, email address, title of paper or roundtable, and an abstract of no more than 250 words.
The deadline for submitting proposals is 30 November 2023.
Any general questions regarding the conference can be addressed to Morgan Dickson and Fanny Moghaddassi.
