From 2006, a new Brepols series, Medieval Voyaging,
will gradually replace Making the Middle Ages, though the General
Editors will continue to consider manuscripts for Making the
Middle Ages, if their subject matter is appropriate. Geraldine Barnes
and Margaret Clunies Ross will be General Editors also of Medieval
Voyaging, but will operate with an enlarged Editorial Board, whose
members have wide-ranging research interests that cover the field
of the new series. New members of the Editorial Board are:
Professor Suzanne Conklin Akbari, Department of English and Centre
for Medieval Studies, University of Toronto, s.akbari@utoronto.ca
Dr Alfred Hiatt, Department of English, University of Leeds,
A.Hiatt@leeds.ac.uk
Professor John Tolan, Professeur d’Histoire Médiévale,
Université de Nantes, john.tolan.2@numericable.fr
The objective of Medieval Voyaging is to present innovative research
on voyages of body and mind from the early Middle Ages to 1500.
The series focuses on physical and metaphorical travel in literary,
historical, and geographical texts and images. It explores intellectual
mappings and encounters, as well as the actual and imagined voyages
of discovery, settlement, pilgrimage, and engagement with the Other,
which constructed the earthly and spiritual landscape of medieval
cosmography.
Expressions of interest in publishing in the series are welcome
and may be addressed to any member of the Editorial Board.
The series was launched at the Leeds International Medieval Congress,
10-13 July 2006, with a Round Table Discussion (at which Dr Simon
Forde, Brepols, was present) and two sessions, one organised by
Alfred Hiatt and the other by Suzanne Akbari and John Tolan.
