Dear Spenser List,
Those of you going to St Louis for SCSC in October might be interested in
the following panels organized by members of the American Society of Irish
Medieval Studies. Of particular note for Spenserians is the Friday
afternoon panel featuring papers by Jean Brink, Judith Owens and historian
Hiram Morgan, who will defend his attribution of a lengthy anonymous prose
tract, the "Bloody Supplication", to Spenser.
ASIMS also encourages you to come to and participate in its conference,
'Beyond Saints and Scholars: Irish Medieval Studies in the Twenty-First
Century'. The conference will take place at St. Louis University during the
few days directly after SCSC. Conference fees will be very low and
altogether waived for presenters (it may not be too late to participate).
The conference will include some banquets and tours, including a visit to
the great Native American mound complex of Cahokia, in East St. Louis.
Plenary speakers are art historian Rachel Moss, archaeologists John Bradley,
Terry Barry and Niall Brady, and historian Hiram Morgan. It promises to be
a very exciting event and has been specially timed to coincide with SCSC.
