Subject: call for papers

I am chairing a session at the December 1998 meeting of the MLA in San
Francisco, and I would like to announce the call for papers.  The session
is sponsored by the Division for Comparative Studies in Medieval
Literature, and the topic is women and monasticism.  I am interested in
papers dealing with texts written by, for, and/or about nuns; the
influences of female monasticism in medieval society; relations between
nunneries and patrons; female monasticism as portrayed in traditionally
"literary" texts; and other interpretations of the topic.  Papers
comparing monastic traditions for women and/or female monasticism in
England and on the Continent are particularly welcome.
        Please send one-page abstracts for papers of 20 minutes reading
time to Nancy Warren, Department of English, 3187 Angell Hall, University
of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1003 USA.  Submissions by e-mail
([log in to unmask]) or fax (313/763-3128) are also welcome.  The deadline
for submission is March 17, 1998.  I look forward to your contributions.
