Call for Papers: We are soliciting essays for a volume to be published in
2001 or 2002 by the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies:
The Single Woman in Medieval and Early Modern England: Her Life and
Representation. Among single women--a category meriting greater
attention--Olwen Hufton lists well-born spinsters provided for by their
families, entrepreneurs, wage earners (especially servants), widows,
lesbians, cross-dressers who may have been lesbians, nuns, the handicapped
(often sheltered by the church), unwed mothers, kept women, and
prostitutes. (Of course, many of these sub-classifications overlap.) The
editors, Dorothea Kehler and Laurel Amtower, welcome both literary and
historical contributions: readings of medieval or Renaissance plays or
works in other genres, religious, social or art historical studies, etc.
Please send queries, abstracts, or complete manuscripts manuscripts (25 to
35 pages) to Professor Amtower, Department of English and Comparative
Literature, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA 92182-8140, or
e-mail her at lamtower@mail.sdsu.edu. Deadline: June 1, 2000
