--- This is advance notice of a lecture to be given by Professor Ralph Hanna (University of Oxford), on Monday 3 April, 4.15 pm, PIMS Common Room, 59 Queen’s Park Crescent East Professor Hanna’s paper, “The Topography of the York Play,” proposes that the most important question about medieval drama is its form of mediation between historically-distanced biblicism and fifteenth-century situation. It attends to the documentary record of the play to indicate and to interrogate its existence within a local (and civic) space and to suggest ways in which that space itself inflects performance (and thus “meaning”). Having retired from his position as Distinguished Professor at UC Riverside and editor of the Riverside Chaucer, Professor Hanna is now Professor of Palaeography in the University of Oxford. His most recent book is _London Literature, 1300–1380_ (Cambridge UP, 2005). -- Alexandra Gillespie, Assistant Professor Department of English, University of Toronto tel: 905 828 5394 (wk) mail: Univ. of Toronto at Mississauga, ON, L5L 1C6, Canada -- Dr. Kimberley Yates Assistant to the Director Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies 71 Queen's Park Crescent East E.
