Dear all,

Following an earlier call in April, we are now making a second call for papers for the Middle Ages in the Modern World conference (MAMO) in Manchester in summer 2017. Please circulate widely. For full details, see MAMO's website, themamo.org. The conference email address is: mamo.conference@manchester.ac.uk.

Confirmed keynote speakers at this stage include Jeffrey Jerome Cohen (George Washington University) and Chris Jones (St Andrews). The poets Jane Draycott, Lavinia Greenlaw and Matthew Francis will also be participating. A programme of cultural events associated with the conference is taking shape, including a season of medievalist films at the independent cinema, HOME Manchester, and a full dramatic production of Lavinia Greenlaw's A Double Sorrow in Manchester Cathedral. There will be a celebration of the work of the author Alan Garner, featuring an in-conversation event with Alan. As a city Manchester offers a wealth of neo-gothic architecture, much of it under the direct influence of Augustus Pugin. There will be opportunities to visit the sumptuous neo-gothic John Rylands Library, and the Ford Madox Brown murals in the Alfred Waterhouse-designed Manchester Town Hall. More information will follow on the conference website in the coming months.

all best,
David, James, and Anke
