To me, methought, who waited with a crowd,
There came a bark that, blowing forward, bore
King Arthur, like a modern gentleman
Of stateliest port; and all the people cried,
"Arthur is come again: he cannot die."

"Morte d'Arthur" (1842)
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

UPDATE Teaching the Arthurian Tradition (12/1/2024; Illinois Medieval Association Symposium 1/17/2025)

The deadline for the January 17 Illinois Medieval Association Symposium session, Teaching the Arthurian Tradition, has been extended to December 1. Please see the CFP below.



------------------------------

Deadline for Proposals: December 1

Session: 2:00 pm (Central) January 17, online via Zoom

The Arthurian Tradition(s) is often most students’ first and only exposure to the Middle Ages. Exposure often comes from films that students have seen: Fuqua’s King Arthur (2004), Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), and Lowery’s Green Knight (2021). What students learn from a course or unit on the Arthurian Tradition(s) is often very different from filmed depictions. This session seeks papers that explore issues, opportunities, and innovations in teaching the Arthurian Traditions(s). We welcome all aspects of teaching Arthuriana.

Submit full session proposals or paper proposals (no more than 300 words) to mwgeorge.51@gmail.com no later than December 1, 2024.
