hrjDateline: Live from the Pseudo Session pre-game show.
This morning I did manage to get up early enough to put in half an hour on the treadmill before breakfast. There weren't any sessions in the morning slot that were crying out to me, so I spent the time finishing my shopping in the bookroom.
Last year I never got around to doing an annotated list of my book haul. I may not get around to the annotations, but here's the haul:
Smyth, Rosier. 1930. Theater du Mond (Gorsedd y Byd). University of Wales Press, Cardiff.
Lewis, Henry. 1942. Brut Dingestow. University of Wales Press, Cardiff.
Mac Cana, Proinsias. 1958. Branwen Daughter of Llyr: A Study of the Irish Affinities. University of Wales Press, Cardiff.
Plank, Dieter et al. ed. 1985. Der Keltenfürst von Hochdorf. Landesdenkmalamt Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart. ISBN 3-8062-0441-1
Harper, Sally. 2007. Music in Welsh Culture Before 1650. Ashgate, Burlington. ISBN 978-0-7546-5263-2
Bouchard, Constance Brittain. 1991. The Cartulary of Flavigny 717-1113. The Medieval Academy of America, Cambridge. ISBN 0-915651-05-X
Fenwick, Carolyn C. 2005. The Poll Taxes of 1377, 1379 and 1381: Part 3 Wiltshire - Yorkshire. Oxford University Press, Oxford. ISBN 978-0-19-726336-5
Huws, Daniel. 2000. Medieval Welsh Manuscripts. University of Wales Press & National Library of Wales, Cardiff. ISBN 0-7083-1602-6
And I don't have full information on the following because they're being shipped:
Osebergfundet (vol IV) [new volume covering the textiles from the Oseberg find]
Cloth and Clothing in Early Anglo-Saxon England [this is different from the Owen-Crocker book]
Bewnans Ke [the definitive edition, translation, and analysis of this recently discovered Cornish ms.]
Anglo Saxon Food and Drink [hardcover revised and expanded version of Ann Hagen's work]
Druid, Shaman, Priest [Leslie Jones takes on Celts in modern pop culture]
Book of Llandaf [a technical analysis of the history of the book]
Medieval Textiles and Clothing: 3 [collection of articles]
For the first afternoon slot I went to the Celtic law session. There was a very interesting paper on the function and nature of triads in the law texts (from a speaker who has a book coming out on the topic in the near future). Oh, and a couple of Irish papers. Then I went back to my scholarly roots and went to a linguistics session on grammaticalization, although there was only one paper actually on the topic of grammaticalization, plus one on vernacular grammar books and one no-show. But while listening, I started getting the urge to pull out my paper on yrof a Duw and see about working it up into something publishable.
Now I'm sitting in the Fetzer Hall auditorium in the midst of the academic equivalent of a tailgate party as people stake out seats for the Pseudo Session (spoof papers). During the years I've been coming, there's been somewhat of a resurgence of interest in it to the point where you basically have to grab a chair at least an hour and a half ahead of time. People bring take-out dinner (pizza features heavily). Fun is had.

Date: 2007-05-15 11:20 pm (UTC)Ashgate's "conference discount" is 20%; only the display copies go for 50% off :-/
Maybe I'll ILL a copy this summer to see whether it's worth camping out for next year (or maybe Ashgate'll be at BEA next month--hmmm...).
