“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.  As we all know, Sandy’s contribution to the study of medieval and Renaissance drama and culture has been enormous.  Through her work on the York cycle and its records, and as creator and guiding spirit of the Records of Early English Drama project, she has energized the growth of scholarship in the field over the past quarter-century.  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.

Proposals, expressions of interest and inquiries should be directed the organizer, Peter Greenfield, at [log in to unmask].  One-page (maximum) abstracts (email preferred) should be sent to Greenfield by 15 September 2005.  Further information on the 2005 International Medieval Congress (and its special thematic strand of “Youth and Age”) is available at http://www.leeds.ac.uk/imi/imc/imc.htm.
