The Year’s Work in Medievalism: 2003 is based upon but not restricted to the 2003 proceedings of the annual International Conference on Medievalism, organized by the Director of Conferences for Studies in Medievalism, Gwendolyn Morgan, and, for 2003, Tom Shippey of St. Louis University. The essays of the current volume center on the question of creating identity, at the person, political and national levels, through the use of medievalism. Gwendolyn A.
