Medieval
and Early Modern Studies (MEMS)
Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS) at UF is an interdisciplinary
forum for the study of medieval and early modern European culture and
its influences on the modern world. This approach addresses the distinctive
forms of cultural organization in the Middle Ages and Early Modern periods;
the study necessarily crosses departmental boundaries.

Stammtisch
On the first Monday of every month (Note: exceptionally, the April talk
is postponed to April 14--see below), one of the MEMS Graduate Students
will
present ongoing research in the Stammtisch forum. Anyone from any
discipline who is interested is invited to attend.
On Monday, APRIL 14, Katherine Shaeffer, a first-year master's student in the English Department, will be presenting a talk titled "Tricks and Mystics: Alchemy in Renaissance Literature." This Stammtisch will be the last of the semester, so I encourage you to join us at 4:00 in the MEMS Reading Room, Dauer 237.
We are accepting applications for next year's talk series at this point. If you are interested in this interdisciplinary program, please email Randi MarieSmith, randims@english.ufl.edu.
Early Modern Reading Group
The Early Modern Reading Group
is a graduate student reading group that focuses on texts that span the late
Middle Ages to the late Restoration period. We have a listserve and we plan to meet on the third Sunday
of each month in the afternoon. Next meeting: Sunday, February 24 at 4 pm, to discuss Margaret Cavendish's closet drama The Convent of Pleasure. For more information see EMRG website.
