Plymouth State University

30th Annual Medieval and Renaissance Forum

Friday and Saturday 24-25 April 2009.

What was the role of the imagination in Medieval and Early Modern culture? Was “fantasy” distinguished from “reality” ? How did people talk about and experience dreams?

Papers need not be confined to the theme, but may cover many aspects of Medieval and Renaissance life, literature, languages, art, philosophy, theology, history and music. Student sessions welcome.

This year’s keynote speaker is Dr. Carole Levin, Willa Cather Professor of History at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Dr. Levin is the author of numerous books and articles on Early Modern English culture, notably The Heart and Stomach of a King: Elizabeth I and the Politics of Sex and Power and her most recent book Dreaming the English Renaissance: Politics and Desire in Court and Culture, to be released October 2008 from Palgrave Macmillan.

Ensemble Chaconne will be performing the music of Shakespeare’s plays. To learn more about Ensemble Chaconne and their Music of Shakespeare’s Plays, visit: http://cdbaby.com/cd/ensemblechaconne
