Eve Salisbury is scheduled to present a paper at the
Mid-America Medieval Association Conference (MAMA) later this month in Kansas
City. Entitled “Lybeaus Desconus and
the Maternal Unknown” the paper addresses the unnamed mother in the English
version of the Fair Unknown narrative, especially in relation to illegitimacy
and social abjection. The work has evolved from a larger project---a volume of Lybeaus Desconus for the Middle English
Text Series (with James Weldon), which
contains two manuscript variants of the narrative made available together for
the first time. Another essay “Lybeaus Desconus : Transformation, Adaptation,
and the Monstrous Feminine” has been accepted for publication in Arthuriana and is expected to appear
later this year.
