CFP: Reading Anselm: Context and Criticism

The conference takes as its theme the wide variety of responses to Anselm's life, and work, across many different periods, and in many different fields. At the same time it will ground the reception of Anselm with consideration of the context in which he lived, wrote and acted. Moving between his life and his reception, will allow fresh insight into the mechanisms and measures of his celebrity and influence. 

The Association invites submissions in areas including but not limited to literature, history, art history, philosophy, and theology.
