As the presider for The Society of the White Hart session on "Pageantry and Posturing in Late Medieval England," I have been asked to advertise among those of you with interests in the dramatic arts. The session organizers seek papers focusing on pagentry, processions, tournaments, or other performative acts that might be considered "posturing" in Britain during the late 14th century and throughout the 15th century. Papers might focus on civic, religious, political, noble, or other sponsorship; venues or forms of performance; means by which such activities served to make or break reputations or influence public opinion; or any other aspects of the pagentry and ceremonial life of late medieval Britain. Please send abstracts by September 15th to Michael Myers Department of History University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 309 Gregory Hall Urbana, IL 61801 Phone: (wk) 217-333-4224;(hm) 217-337-0626 E-Mail:[log in to unmask] If you are unable to reach the organizer by these means, you may submit abstracts to my address below.
