49th International Congress on Medieval Studies

The Societas Ovidiana is proud to present what promise to be two outstanding panels to start off the 2014 Medieval Congress at Kalamazoo:

Ovid in the Classroom: Session 23 (Thursday, May 8th, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. in Schneider 1225)

Presider: Emily Blakelock, Univ. of Toronto

Baudri of Bourgeuil and Loire Valley Ovidianism
     Susannah Brower, Univ. of Toronto
Teaching Ovid at the Benedictine Abbey of Tegernsee through the Twelfth-Century 
Accessus ad Auctores in MS Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 19475
     Stephen Wheeler, Pennsylvania State Univ.
The Ethics of Love: Student Readership of Ovid's Heroides
     Natasha Amendola, Monash Univ.


Ovid in the Courts: Session 68 (Thursday, May 8th, 2014 at 1:30 p.m. in Schneider 1225)

Presider: Christopher Berard, Univ. of Toronto

Exemplary Ovid: Models of Courtly Conduct in Alfonso X's General estoria
     Erik Ekman, Oklahoma State Univ.
Metamorphoses of Myth in Albrecht von Halberstadt's Medieval Adaptation
     Anna Cappellotto, Univ. degli Studi di Verona
Recasting Eurydice in Sir Orfeo
     Erica Machulak, Univ. of Notre Dame
Masculinity and Misrepresentation: Henrician Neo-Ovidianism and John Heywood's 
A Play of Love
     Maura Giles-Watson, Univ. of San Diego





Attendees at these panels will receive one of two limited edition pins, designed especially for this year's Congress.






We also invite anyone interested to attend the society's Annual Business Meeting which will be held in between the two panels in the same room, Schneider 1225. The actual business portion will be quite short: (1) appointing the society's President for next year and (2) planning a proposal for panels at the 2015 Congress. The real benefit of the meeting, however, is to continue the discussion from our first panel of papers and to allow for introductions before the second panel. We will be providing pizza and drinks since the meeting will take place during the Congress' lunch break.
