The Year's Work in Medievalism, 2005 and 2006

The Year's Work in Medievalism:2005-2006 is based upon but not restricted to the proceedings of the International Conference on Medievalism for those years. The International Conference on Medievalism is organized by Gwendolyn Morgan for the International Society for the Study of Medievalism and, for the subject volume, Karl Fugelso of Towson University (2005) and Claire Simmons of Ohio State University (2006). This first volume of this double issue focuses on medievalism as a means of exploring gender issues and identity, while the second examines the juxtaposition of modern to medieval society as a means of curing present ills. The editor of this volume and General Editor of The Year's Work in Medievalism series, Gwendolyn A. Morgan, is Professor of British Literature and Languages at Montana State University-Bozeman.
