 Guest Editor: Andrew Rabin, University of Louisville

 The Heroic Age invites submissions for a special issue on law and
 legal culture in the early middle ages. We construe the subject of
 this issue broadly, and we are eager to receive submissions
 representing a variety of perspectives, methodologies, national or
 ethnic cultures, and disciplines. Possible topics include (but are
 not limited to): royal legislation, legal manuscripts, law in/and
 literature, legal procedure, charters and diplomatics, writs and
 wills, dispute resolution, theories of law and justice, canon law,
 editing medieval law, law and philosophy, perceptions of medieval law
 in later periods, law in/and art, international law, and intersections
 between medieval Asian and European legal traditions. We welcome
 traditional philological and historicist approaches, as well as those
 informed by modern critical theory.

 Prospective contributors should feel free to contact Andrew Rabin
 (andrew.rabin at louisville.edu) if they have any questions.

 Articles should be 7000 words including bibliography and endnotes, and
 conform to The Heroic Age's in-house style. Instructions may be found
 at http://www.heroicage.org/authors.html. All submissions will be
 reviewed by two readers according to a double-blind policy. All
 submissions should be sent to haediting at yahoo.com. The deadline for
 submission is August 1st, 2008.

 This issue will also include a second special section on Early 
 Medieval Studies and Modern Theory, title to yet be determined.  
 The section is being edited and compiled currently by Eileen Joy 
 and will include papers from members of the BABEL project.


 Future Plans: Issue 15: Ten Year Anniversary Issue: The World of 
 Late Antique Britain

 For our ten year anniversary <i>The Heroic Age</i> is revisiting 
 its first issue in a way.  Our first issue dealt with the Matter of 
 Arthur.  Issue 15 will have three sections: One section is 
 historical and would examine the world of Late Antique Britain, 
 connections with the rest of the continent in Late Antiquity, and 
 new views of the Adventus Saxonum.  The second section will examine 
 Arthur and Arthurian literature.  The third section will include 
 studies of "under studied" early medieval authors stressing the 
 early period and stressing Irish and British authors.


 The Heroic Age is an on-line, peer-reviewed academic journal hosted by
 the Memorial University of Newfoundland. It focuses on Northwestern
 Europe during the early medieval period (from the late 4th through
 12th centuries). We seek to foster dialogue between all scholars of
 this period across ethnic and disciplinary boundaries, including-but
 not limited to-history, archeology, and literature pertaining to the
 period.
