Dear DM Members,
Below is the CFP for a special session that we are hosting at Kalamazoo next year. We feel that such a hypothetical edition needs to have a digital component and what this component would look and feel like is of interest to many DM members.
Best, Grant Simpson Rachel Anderson
Editing Old English: Ælfric's Lives of the Saints Special Session at the 47th International Congress on Medieval Studies (May 2012)
2012 marks the 100-year anniversary of the death of W. W. Skeat, the eminent lexicographer and editor of Anglo-Saxon texts. Skeat is known among Ælfric scholars as the editor of the four-volume Lives of Saints (1881-1890). This edition has numerous limitations, including an incomplete scholarly apparatus, a dated translation, and infrequent availability. A new edition is needed - but what would it look like? Who would it be for?
This session will feature papers that examine Skeat's editorial choices and look towards what is needed for a future edition.
Please send abstracts of around 300 words to Grant Simpson at glsimpso@indiana.edu by September 15. (Early submissons would be much appreciated.)
The session on Editing Old English: Ælfric's Lives of the Saints is still accepting abstracts.
