> 1993, in Ottawa, Canada. The call for papers (a general one, abstracts which

> Send abstracts to me snail-mail, fax or whatever (but I can't yet download
> e-mail from this UNIX system I'm stuck on). My address is: M.J. Toswell,
> Dept. of English, Univ. of Western Ontario, London, Ontario N6A 3K7. Tel.
> (519) 679-2111 ext. 5813; fax (519) 661-3640. Papers for all sessions will
> be 20-30 minutes in length, and in either of Canada's official languages.
> So far, the Society has two plenary sessions arranged, one by Toni Healey
> on the joys of dictionary-making in Canada, and one by Bruno Roy. Membership
> in the society costs $10 annually (for which you also get three elegantly-
> produced newsletters), $5 for students, retired, or underemployed types.

> Secondly, The Department of English at the University of Western
> Ontario is happy to announce a conference in honour of C.B. Hieatt, who
> as many of you know is retiring at the end of this academic year. The
> conference is titled "Heroic Poetry", and includes papers from Paul Szarmach,
> Robert Finnegan, Robert Creed, Mark Griffith, James Keddie, Douglas Moffat,
> Thomas Cable, Richard Harris, Geoffrey Russom, George Clark, Thomas Shippey,
> John Leyerle, John Miles Foley, William Schipper, Richard Green, James
> Noble, Brenda Hosington, Brian Shaw, and Karen Arthur (among others). It will
> take place March 4-6 at Western; Registration is $35.00 (Canadian), and the
> banquet (which will be appropriately medieval--my co-organiser is chasing
> up suckling pigs to roast) is $35.00. Students can register free, and we
> will make some effort to find floors to sleep on, if necessary. Please
> contact me if you wish to be sent registration materials.

I have just forwarded Jane Toswell's announcement about the new society
of Canadian Medievalists to a number of lists. Her message ends with a
request to distribute the list to other lists. Please ignore that part
of her message (and only that part), since I have already done so.
