MRDS-Sponsored Sessions at the International Medieval Congress 2005 University of Leeds, 11-14 July 2005 "In Honor of Alexandra Johnston" The Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society wishes to honor Alexandra Johnston at the time of her retirement from teaching at the University of Toronto next year.

This MRDS-sponsored session invites papers which speak to the full range of Sandy's interests: on literary and textual concerns as well as on dramatic records and performance, on her teaching interests as well as her research, including topics such as connections between medieval theatre and Shakespeare or Chaucer.
