In this Issue
Essays in Medieval Studies is an interdisciplinary journal of medieval studies. Contents for each volume are selected from papers delivered at the annual meeting of the Illinois Medieval Association. Since 1993 each volume has had a thematic focus based on the theme or topic of the annual meeting. Recent themes have included children and the family, medieval communities, and emotions in the Middle Ages.
Please note: Due to circumstances beyond our control, the 2019 Illinois Medieval Association conference was canceled. A special anniversary volume titled "'Happy Accidents': Twenty Years of Essays in Medieval Studies" has been published in 2020 in lieu of proceedings. The 36th annual conference was held in February 2020, at Saint Mary's College in Notre Dame, IN. Proceedings from that conference will be published in 2021.
