If you're a medieval literature person (or even if you're not), here's a link to my new essay, 'Touching the Real in the Canon's Yeoman's Tale.' It's about Chaucer, the archives of medieval London, and late-stage New Historicism. Here's the link. read.dukeupress.edu/jmems/articl...

We’re not in the habit of recognizing celebrity deaths here at 925. That said, Dolly Parton is a national treasure and some folks here joke that Dolly is our Locals patron saint. After all her song “9 to 5” is our anthem. Today we remember all the love and kindness Dolly brought the world.

Tribute-style portrait of a Dolly Parton performing in a ruffled light purple blouse, arm raised and singing into a microphone, overlaid with the lyric: "You're just a step on the bossman's ladder / But you've got dreams he'll never take away."

Very happy to be coorganizing this panel at ICMS 2027, with Wiktoria Bryzys. Interested in the literary aljama beyond questions of representation, or in notions of medieval Iberian sociocultural autarky and interdependence, among related topics? Please submit yr abstract and join us at Kalamazoo!

Building on recent scholarship on medieval Iberia’s ethnoreligious communities, this session seeks to reimagine these groups as partial sovereigns within larger hegemonic powers. How did Iberian ethnic communities govern themselves internally, and how did aljamas, the dhimma system, and the administrative apparatus impact and become legible in literature, visual arts, and material culture? We invite papers spanning literary and historiographic works composed between the 8th and 17th centuries in all languages of Iberia and the Sephardic and Morisco diasporas that examine questions of mediation, coexistence, class hierarchies, and both intra- and interconfessional relations.

A year ago, my friend Alexandra Bellow died: a Romanian mathematician, former wife of Saul Bellow, and an extraordinary woman who was in love with Don Quixote until her very last day. I wrote this small tribute in the days just after her death. www.guernicamag.com/three-pages-...

Three Pages of Don Quixote

Here was a woman who had lived through a dictatorship, been through three marriages, and built a brilliant career in a relentlessly male-dominated field. And she was happy.
