Constructions of the Medieval and Early Modern Periods
February 16-18, 1995
The Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Arizona State
University invites papers for an interdisciplinary conference on the general

model.) Possible session topics include:
periodization as it affects views of the past
revivalisms
Gothicism
national differences
twentieth-century views
continuities/changes in attitudes to allegory
Renaissance views of the Middle Ages
medievalism/the Renaissance in the modern periods
(Enlightenment, Romantic, Victorian, modern, post-modern, etc.)
medieval views of the Middle Ages
Renaissance views of the Renaissance
continuities between the Middle Ages and Renaissance
survival of antiquity in the Middle Ages and Renaissance
Professor Norman Cantor will present the conference's keynote address.
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 will be accepted beginning August
