Celebrating Sorrow: Commemoration and Lamentation in Old English

Evocations of sorrow mark loss, but also assert community and endurance: Beowulf’s men mourn together; Deor’s loss animates an imagined shared past. We welcome papers on sorrow and commemoration in Old English. 250 word abstracts.

Deadline for submissions: Monday, 20 March 2023
