Dear List members,
I've just returned from an excellent conference. Anyone who is interested
in vernacular language and/or preaching would have found this conference
most useful as the theme was 'Vernacular Sermons'. Below I am providing
the presenters' names and the titles of their papers. If any of you are
interested in the details of the papers, abstracts will be provided in the
next issue of of *Medieval Sermon Studies*.
