Radcliffe Handout on Undead Arthuriana

Here is the text of my handout for my presentation at the Second Ann Radcliffe Academic Conference at StokerCon this weekend (conference information at http://stokercon2018.org/):

Arthurian Monster Mash:

Biography:

I am a medievalist trained locally at both Rhode Island College and the University of Connecticut at Storrs, and my research focuses on the Arthurian tradition and its representation in popular culture, especially comics. I am very intrigued by the more obscure aspects of the modern Matter of Britain, and a colleague once introduced me at a conference as, “a purveyor of weird Arthuriana.” This tendency has inspired my ongoing work on monsters in Arthurian texts, such as Lovecraft’s menaces (the subject of a presentation this past summer at Necronomicon), a series of papers on vampires at meetings of the Northeast Popular Culture / American Culture Association, where I have served as Fantastic (Fantasy, Horror, and Science Fiction) Area Chair since 2008, and one paper on zombies at a meeting of the Mid-Atlantic Popular Culture Association.
