The chivalric romances of the 'Eufemiavisor' (‘Songs of Eufemia’, i.e. Herr Ivan, Hertig Fredrik av Normandie and Flores och Blanzeflor) mark the beginning of Swedish literary history and represent a powerful manifestation of European courtly culture in Scandinavia. The alleged patron of these texts, Queen Eufemia of Norway, died on May 1, 1312.

On occasion of the 700th anniversary of her death, this conference is dedicated to the 'Eufemiavisor'. However, the aim is to focus not only on the texts themselves, but also on their European origin and the context in which these texts were created and transmitted. Papers are welcomed on subjects related to the texts, the manuscripts, the courtly culture and the historical background.

Please send abstracts by December 15 to eufemia2012@gmail.com.
Instructions and further information can be found at the conference website at http://www.medeltid.su.se/eufemia2012.
Travel and accommodation expenses will be assumed by the organisers subject to acceptance of proposal.

Programm

Key note speakers are: Anthony Hunt, University of Oxford, Karl G. Johansson, University of Oslo, William Layher, Washington University St. Louis and Corinne Péneau, University Paris-Est Créteil.
