Description

Larry Clopper's contributions to the study of medieval and early modern culture came in many forms. He published influential monographs on Franciscan influence on William Langland and on the relationship of medieval and early modern drama to festive culture. He was also a leading member of the effort to recover and publish documentary evidence of medieval and early modern drama. This session offers papers illustrating the new scholarship that Larry inspired among his students.
