The Early Middle English Society (EMES) seeks to promote the study and scholarly discussion of English literary and cultural production from the end of the twelfth century to the mid-fourteenth century. Our first goals include establishing a continuous presence at major medieval conferences in the United States and Europe. We would like particularly to promote the field in relation to the two areas that book-end ours: the Anglo-Saxon period and the Middle English period after the plague.
We are co-sponsoring a session at the 2011 Kalamazoo conference. Please see also a call for submissions for a special Lawman-themed issue of the journal Arthuriana.
