Description

This session invites proposals that focus on animals and on conflict in the landscape of Layamon’s Brut and of analogous Brut texts, including Layamon’s sources, Geoffrey of Monmouth and Wace, and the prose Brut(s). It encourages traditional and recent (eco-critical) approaches to both the human and non-human figures and land in the Brut texts. Kenneth J. Tiller
