medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The Heroic Age: A Journal of Early Medieval
Northwestern Europe
(http://www.heroicage.org) is inviting paper
submissions for the 41st
International Congress on Medieval Studies. Our
first session is:
The Spread of Christianity in Early Medieval Northern
Europe
This is a panel on the spread of Christianity in
Northern Europe
(including the British Isles, Gaul, Germany and
Scandinavia) between the
3rd century and the 8th century AD. Any topic related
to the spread of
Christianity to non-Christian areas (some examples
could include the
spread of Christian thought among elite, the adoption
of Christianity
within urban spaces, and the conversion of the rural
pagan countryside)
will be considered. Preference will be given to
papers which emphasize
aspects of the Christianization process which have not
received a great
deal of scholarly attention.
Our second session is:
Those Who Stayed Behind: The Norse in Scandinavia
during the Viking Age
This is a panel on the Scandinavian countries
themselves in the Viking
Age, rather than focusing on the Vikings themselves.
Papers are invited
to address the archaeology, literature, linguistics
and languages,
religion(s), history, and other related fields that
touch on those
nations from the late eighth century through the end
of the eleventh
century. Preference will be given to papers
emphasizing aspects of the
field that have not received a great deal of scholarly
attention.
All abstracts are due Sept. 1, 2005. Please send
submissions to Larry
