The Cross in Anglo-Saxon England project invites scholars, students,
and teachers to participate in a two-day seminar in Durham, England on
Cross and Culture in Anglo-Saxon England. This interdisciplinary
seminar, part of a three-year project, is dedicated to Stanford
Professor George Hardin Brown in recognition of his outstanding lifetime
contributions to the study of Anglo-Saxon culture.
The nine invited speakers represent different disciplinary perspectives
on the cross as a material artifact, as a ritual gesture in performance,
and as a concept invoked in theological, poetic, and artistic contexts.
In addition to three sessions with scholarly papers, the first day
concludes with a session inviting dialogue on questions and themes drawn
from the day's papers and posted in advance. These activities on the
first day are complemented on the second day with an excursion to the
Bewcastle and Ruthwell monuments, with interpretive discussions let by
participating scholars.
The Cross and Culture in Anglo-Saxon England Durham 2001 seminar is
part of a three-year project, Sancta Crux/Halige Rod: The Cross in
Anglo-Saxon England, directed by Catherine Karkov, Sarah Larratt Keefer,
and Karen Jolly. For more information on project activities, see
