medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Baghdad, Aachen, and Winchester: Early Medieval
Reforms and Reformers
The late eighth and ninth centuries saw cultural and
intellectual
revivals and renaissances that seemed to have
proceeded from East to
West. All are related in some way to each other, but
they are seldom
examined in the same context. Harun al-Rachid,
Charlemagne, and
Alfred all sponsored reforms in their respective
socieities, were in
contact in some way with one another (or in Alfred's
case, with
Charlemagne's grandson), and may have influenced one
another.<i>The
Heroic Age</i> invites submissions exploring these
three rulers, the
cultural revivals that occurred under their reigns,
the factors
leading to those revivals, the long term results, and
any possible
interplay or influence.
This issue will be <i>The Heroic Age</i>'s eleventh
issue and is
planned for January 2007. Submissions will be
received at any time,
but no later than Oct. 1, 2006.
For submission guidelines see www.heroicage.org,
Submissions should
be sent to Larry Swain, [log in to unmask]
