Meeting Description:

The Historical English Analysis and Research Tradition (HEART)
Conference aims to gather specialists in English mediaeval language,
literature, and culture. It will be held in person 11-12 April 2025 at
the Faculty of Modern Languages in Warsaw. It offers a platform for
interdisciplinary exchange on the research methods and new
interpretations of the materials dated up to 1700.

The first HEART conference commemorates the one-thousandth anniversary
of the coronation of Bolesław the Brave, the first crowned king of
Poland, which took place probably in April, 1025 in Gniezno.

Bolesław the Brave, like Saint Stephen I of Hungary, belonged to the
generation of kings who established the foundations of Central Europe.
Canute the Great, the king of England, Denmark, and Norway, and
possibly Bolesław’s nephew, epitomizes the common fate of the peoples
from the northern part of the continent. The reigns of these great
kings had an impact on political history but also on the development
of the culture, literature, and languages of nations that still exist
today.

The now-lost crown of Bolesław the Brave, as well as the crown of
Saint Stephen, kept in Budapest, are symbols of fate and aspirations
of the countries of Central Europe – the Middle Kingdoms, as they were
called by the British historian Martin Rady.

This historical perspective underlies our ambition to bring into
contact the various perspectives on medievalist research in the field
of linguistics as well as literary and cultural studies simultaneously
emphasising the continuity and distinctive nature of collective
academic achievement in Poland and the whole of central Europe.

We welcome proposals on any topic related to aspects of linguistic,
literary, and cultural research on English up to 1700, including, but
not limited to, historical phonology, morphology and syntax, semantics
and pragmatics, lexical studies, language contact, manuscript studies,
linguistic variation, language change, Old English, Middle English,
and Early Modern literature, the orality/literacy nexus, courtly and
chivalric culture, medievalism after 1700, esp. in modern fantasy, as
well as reflection on the concept of kingship and the coronation
ritual.

Keynote speakers:
