The Journal of Folklore Research invites submissions for a special issue devoted to medieval and early modern folklore and culture, tentatively scheduled for publication in 2016. We welcome submission of papers that deal with any aspect of this period, on material from any geographic area. Contributions that situate medieval and early modern culture within contemporary theoretical debates or engage with problems of methodology and interpretation are especially desired. All submissions should be informed by and engage with contemporary scholarship in folkloristics.

Please submit manuscripts to the journal website (http://www.jfr.indiana.edu) by June 1, 2015. Please be sure to note that your submission is for consideration for this special issue. All submissions will undergo double-blind peer review. Questions regarding the issue or submission process may be directed to Steve Stanzak, Managing Editor, at jfrmgr@indiana.edu.
