Description

This panel seeks papers building upon and responding to Maureen Boulton’s foundational work in Anglo-Norman literature, from her edition of the Enfaunces du Jesu Crist to Anglo-Norman Literature: A Guide to Texts and Manuscripts. Maureen Boulton’s scholarship anticipates questions of literariness, language, and nationhood that remain central to medieval French studies today, and this panel seeks to engage these concerns; we welcome proposals exploring the relationships between literary genres, the interplay between Anglo-Norman and other languages (on either side of the Channel), and the role of manuscripts in our understanding of Anglo-Norman literatures. Questions of form and discipline are likewise welcome, as well as papers explicitly taking up the possibilities afforded by the Guide and the future of Anglo-Norman studies
