Subject: 15th Century Robin Hood plays
This is my first question to the group, so excuse me if I
sound awkward.
I am a senior studying Movement Theatre, and I am doing a
thesis concerning the 16th Century (I erred in the Subj) play
"Robin Hood and the Friar." I am using the PLS Performance Text
for the play itself. I am attempting to research the movement styles
that may be used in a performance of the play now, and the style of
performance used when the play was done at the Maye Games, concentrating
on stage combat techniques and Morris dancing. I would appreciate
any advice on where to look for information on this. I admit I am
really at a loss for where to even begin.
I would especially like to know the best source for Wyllyam
Copland's "A Mery Geste of Robyn Hoode and of Hys Lyfe".
Also, I hope to attempt a production of the play based on my
research, so any additional information concerning such performance
would be extremely helpful.
Thank you...
Scott A. Clark.

Subject: Call for Papers
September 1, 1995
To Members of Perform:
2nd Call for Papers. The Texas Medieval Association (TEMA) has
approved "The Maternal in Medieval Drama" as the topic for one of its
sessions at Kalamazoo in 1996. Besides the obvious focus on the
Blessed Virgin Mary, proposers might want to consider portrayals of
St. Anne, Eve, the Muliers of the slaughter of the innocents plays
and even such figures as the Queen of Marseilles in the Digby Mary
Magdalene. Examinations of the maternal in art and drama, or in quasi-
dramatic forms such as royal entries would also be welcome (note that
the topic is not limited to English drama).
If you are interested in presenting a paper, send your one page
abstract by September 15th to
Prof. Victor I. Scherb
Dept. of Humanities
The University of Texas at Tyler
3900 University Blvd.
Tyler, TX 75799
Phone (903) 566-7374

CALL FOR PAPERS
The Future of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance:
Problems, Trends, and Opportunities in Research
February 15-17, 1996
ACMRS at Arizona State University invites papers for its second annual
interdisciplinary conference on Medieval and Renaissance studies on the
general topic of problems and new directions in the study of the Middle
Ages and Early Modern period. Possible session topics include, but are
not restricted to:
problems of interdisciplinarity
integrating literature and history
local history versus period history
copyright and technology
textual studies
the new philology
politics and agendas of disciplines
the future of Med/Ren studies in art history,
history, literature, religion, economics, etc.
While we want a broad spectrum of area studies represented, we are
particularly interested in papers on Scandinavian, Baltic/East European,
Judaic, and Mediterranean Studies. There will also be a number of open
sessions.
Papers accepted for sessions on Mediterranean Studies will have passed the
first level of review for publication in the journal Mediterranean Studies,
sponsored by the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, the Medieval
and Renaissance Colloquium (MARC) at the University of Michigan, and
ACMRS at Arizona State University.
ACMRS will also host The Medieval Book: A Workshop in Codicological
Practice. This pre-conference half-day workshop led by Richard Clement,
University of Kansas, will focus on the making of the medieval codex.
Participants will discuss the preparation of parchment and paper, the
making of pens and ink, and then will make and prepare several quires in
preparation for writing. NOTE: This workshop does not cover scripts and
is not calligraphic.
This year's keynote speaker will be Marcia Colish, Oberlin College.
The conference will be held at the Radisson Mission Palms Hotel, two
blocks from the ASU campus in Tempe, a suburb of Phoenix, Arizona.
The high temperature in the "Valley of the Sun" during February averages
70 degrees.
Proposals for sessions and detailed abstracts or complete papers will be
accepted beginning July 1, 1995. The deadline is November 1, 1995.
Please send two copies of your abstract, paper and/or session proposal,
along with two copies of your c.v., to the program committee chair:

Scott - a full videotape of Robin Hood and the Friar is available through
the University of Toronto Media Centre. It may be also available through
the library via interlibrary loan. The sources on 16th century morris
dancing are thin on the ground, though a good deal of work is being done
at the moment. Try John Forrest's _Morris and Mattichin_ for a start,
then his article on early morris (with Michael Heaney) in the journal
_English Folk Dancd_ (I think that's right, if it's not, let me know and
I'll check the reference.

Medieval Drama Productions in the 1996 issue of RORD (due out next January).
Notices of productions planned for 1996 are also welcome. Submit your

In-Reply-To:
Professor Greenfield:
I do not know whether or not anyone else from PLS will be replying to
your summons, but just in case...
PLS (Poculi Ludique Societas) performed four nativity plays from the York
cycle on August 7, 1995 for the SITM conference. The plays were:
Annunciation and Visitation (dir. Kim Yates), Joseph's Troubles (dir.
Chet Scoville), Nativity (dir. Vicky Cook) and Shepherds (dir. Linda
Phillips). They were performed in medieval costume, in procession on
pageant wagons, with a lightly modernized text (modernized by Kim Yates).
I think it would be a conflict of interest for me to review my own play,
but from an insider's perspective, I can say that all went exquisitely
well with the exception of one tense moment when it looked as though my
set was too tall for a set of stone arches on the route. The SITM
conference also featured a number of imported plays - you can get the
details on these from Laurelle Levert, who was our producer
(LLEVERT@EPAS.UTORONTO.CA).
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further information.

Hello all,
I am posting the following on behalf of another person who is not on the list.

directly to her e-mail address: JASTEWART@UALR.EDU.
Thank you!

From: JASTEWART@UALR.EDU
I was wondering if any one could help me find either some information
on or criticism about the Broadside ballads. I recently read about them
in Anne Lawrence's book titled Women in England: 1500-1700. I have been
unable to locate a more detailed piece on said issue. I would appreciate
any help you can give on this.
Also, I have been unable to find any information on interior design
or decorating in the period from 1620-1650. This would include furniture,
decorating trends, etc., principally among the nobility and members of
Parliament. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would
certainly be grateful.
My sincerest thanks.

Subject: Re: Broadside Ballads Query
To Jennifer Stewart via Heather Gray--sorry, my hand hit the "reply" keys
before my head registered the request to reply to Ms. Stewart directly. So
everyone gets to read this--apologies all around.
Re Broadside ballads: there are dozens of good collections, discussions,
editions, etc. Places to start would be the folklore sections of libraries
and bibliographies. I havent' engaged with this material for years now, but on
my shelf here are 2 lovely little books edited by Matthew Hodgart, one called
_The Faber Book of Ballads_ (London, FAber and FAber, 1965) and the other just
called _The Ballads_ (NY: W.W. NOrton, 1962). This latter one is in fact a
criticl discussion of "the ballad," broadside and otherwise, with exempla; the
former is an edited collection of exempla with a whole section devoted to
broadsides. And I'm sure other people on the list are far more knowledgeable
than I on this subject. Though your request was for private reply, I hope
others are as quick on the "reply-button" trigger as I was, so I can read THEIR
suggestions. It's a fascinating subject that I think will soon see renewed and
widespread interest. Happy hunting.

Some places to look, although I can't say how "solid" they might be:
Forrest, "the Role of the Expositor Contemplacio in the St. Anne's Day
Plays of the Hegge Cycle," *Medieval Studies* 28 (1966): 60-76.
Kahrl, *Traditions of medieval English Drama* (london, 1974)
Kolve, *The Play Called Corpus Christi* (Stanford, 1996)
Nelson, *The medieval English Stage: Corpus Christi Pageants and Plays*
(Chicago and London, 1974)
If these don't have what you need, they shoul dat least be able to point
you in the right directions.
Have a good day!

CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------
Now inviting submissions for
HENRY STREET vol. 5.2
A Graduate Review of Literary Studies
_Henry Street_, formerly known as _Critical Mass_, is in its fifth year.
We aim to provide an international forum for graduate students of English
and related disciplines. The editors, themselves graduate students, are
committed to providing their colleagues with the opportunity to publish
their own work and to read their work of others in their field.
_Henry Street_ invites contributions of critical essays, short fiction and
poetry from graduate students in English or a related discipline. We also
welcome essays on pedagogy, the job market, graduate programs, and other
topics of interest to graduate students. We aim especially to publish and
promote a species of criticism that, in the words of one of our
contributors, "combines the personal with the scholarly."
_Henry Street_ is indexed by the MLA.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue 5.1 of _Henry Street_ contains:
* Lisa Garmire (UCLA-Santa Barbara), "Borrowing Time from AIDS," with a
"Selected Annotated Bibliography of American AIDS Novels"
* Roy Sexton (Ohio State U), "'Steven Doesn't Understand No': Masculinity
and Escapism in the Films of Steven Spielberg"
* Bonnie Surfus (U of Southern Florida), "Strange Attractors in Pynchon's
_Vineland_"
* Nate Dorward (Dalhousie), "Milton's 'Heroic Verse Without Rime'"
Fiction by Jason Hamilton... and more.
