After my recent book<\/a> discovering the identity and landscape of the Gawain<\/em>-poet (aka The Pearl<\/em>-poet), I’m interested in Sir Gawain<\/em> as a classic English supernatural text. It seems that others are too…<\/p>\n

The International Pearl<\/em>-Poet Society is sponsoring six sessions at the 54th International Congress on Medieval Studies (9th\u201312th May 2019) at Western Michigan University. Session Five is: “Fifty Shades of Green: Hagiography and Demonology in the Pearl<\/em>-poet Corpus”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Between the celestial city and the shady Green Chapel, the miracles of a London bishop and the Leviathan-underworld in the belly of a sea beast, the works of the Pearl<\/em>-poet [aka the Gawain<\/em>-poet] explore the full range of the divine and the infernal. The papers in this session will interrogate the poet\u2019s use of hagiographic tropes [trans: the extraordinary aspects expected to be possessed by saints and related supernatural beings<\/em>] as well as material from folk traditions as he crafts his supernatural narratives.”<\/p>\n

Deadline: 15th September 2018. Looks like it’s one of those where you have to be there in person to give the paper, rather than delivering by video-feed.<\/p>\n

In a more fannish vein there’s also a call for submissions for The Realm of British Folklore<\/em><\/a> anthology. Deadline is Halloween 2018. Wanted is poetry, fiction and art, all of the non-twee variety and relating to aspects of British folklore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
