Ricardian Realms: Courts and Conflicts Re-visited

Gregynog Conference Centre

University of Wales

30.06-2.07.2004

Plenary Speaker: Professor Maldwyn Mills

The term Ricardian Literature, first coined by J.A. Burrow in 1971, is by
now well established. This conference aims to re-evaluate the term in
relation to both the literary and historical context of Ricardian England.
We are particularly interested in papers that offer new readings of the
works of Langland, the Gawain-Poet, Gower, and Chaucer, or other literary
works from the time as well as the historical context in general that are
informed by current developments in critical theory.

We welcome proposals for papers from established academics and particularly
encourage proposals from graduate students.

Possible topics include:

Ricardian Literature and Romance

The Poetics and Politics of Rebellion/Resistance

Ricardian Literature and History/Historiography

Myth in Ricardian Literature

The Poetics and Politics of Advice

Textual and Manuscript Studies

Influences on and Influences by Ricardian Poets

Gender and Ricardian Literature

Religion and Ricardian Literature

Importance of the Vernacular

Please send proposals with title and short abstract to
