Essay honoring Bonnie Wheeler for her many scholarly achievements and her wide-ranging contributions to medieval studies in the United States. There are sections on Old and MEL, Arthuriana Then and Now, Joan of Arc Then and Now, Nuns and Spirituality, and Royal Women.
The editors of this volume use its title to honor Bonnie Wheeler for her many scholarly achievements and to celebrate her wide-ranging contributions to medieval studies in the United States. There are sections on Old and Middle English Literature, Arthuriana Then and Now, Joan of Arc Then and Now, Nuns and Spirituality, and Royal Women. As the editors note in the introduction, the volume “confirms Bonnie’s commitment to the multidisciplinary study of the Middle Ages” and affirms her conviction “that the medieval and the modern are best viewed not as ‘the past’ and ‘the present’ but as interpenetrative categories.”
