Dear Simon Coleman, Your note about this conference interested me when you posted in a little while ago to the medieval religion list. I wonder if you have been thinking of opportunities for publishing the papers? You might like to consider approaching the Journal of Religious History (which I edit) for a thematic issue which would include the better papers, after they were submitted to the usual refereeing process. Of course, you may already have some other plan in mind. Best wishes, Hilary Carey >Just to let people know that I and a colleague, Sarah Boss, are putting >on a conference entitled 'The Virgin Mary: Representation and Devotion in >Great Britain' on June 8 at Sarum College, 19 The Close, Salisbury. We're >bringing together theologians, historians, art historians, >anthropologists, etc., and a number of papers will involve themes that >might be of interest to subscribers to medieval-religion: Sheridan Gilley >will talk about the Wilton Diptych; Cathy Oakes will discuss Medieval >English wall-paintings; another speaker will examine notions concerning the >Immaculate Conception, etc..
