International Medieval Congress, Leeds, 6-9 July 2015
Deadline: 25 August 2014

We are seeking proposals for papers on the topic of renewal, reinvention and reinterpretation in the cults of saints in the period 1050-1300. Possible topics might include, but are not limited to:

• The reinvention of saints across cultural, national, or linguistic borders
• The impact of church reform on the cults of saints
• Reinterpretation of a saint’s cult within cult practice, hagiography, liturgy and art
• How a saint’s cult might be renewed or revitalised for a new audience

Papers dealing with renewal in the cults of Anglo-Saxon or British saints in this period will be particularly welcomed.

Proposals for papers of 15-20 minutes should be sent to steffenabhope@gmail.com or eleanor.parker@ell.ox.ac.uk by 25 August.
