THIS CONFERENCE ISDEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF ANITA HIGGIE
Anita Higgie (1956-2010)was the head of the English Department at InstitutCatholique de Paris for a decade, single-handedly running a complex program ofstudy for more than four hundred students. She was a dedicated teacher and medievalist. Without her initial enthusiasm for thisconference, it would not be taking place. She would have liked to present a paper on anonymous medieval poets andbegan reading, but illness prevented her from continuing the work. Those who knew her will always remember theloveliness of her smile, the intensity of her gaze, and her commitment toexcellence. One of her favorite pithypedagogical phrases was: “Lit, Life,& Thought.”
