| Long abstract | If you are reading this essay, chances are you are a Lone Medi-evalist. So am I. I am the only medievalist in my department (Language, Literature, and Philosophy, comprising the disci-plines of English, foreign languages, literature, linguistics, and philosophy). I teach at a historically black college, where me-dieval studies doesn’t even register on the academic radar. My historically-minded students are generally more interested in American or African history. Many students, and indeed many of my colleagues, see the Middle Ages as irrelevant to our stud-ies and disciplines.Yet my purpose here isn’t to enumerate the challenges of be-ing a Lone Medievalist. We all know what they are, and other essays in this volume examine our situation and its inherent is-sues and frustrations in detail. Instead, I intend to discuss the problem of a Lone Medievalist’s loneliness and suggest some concrete ways to deal with it. |
