Time Travel and Romance

At the end of this week I will be participating in two conference sessions.  The first one is on blogging and role playing at UMB's Center for the Improvement of Teaching / Educational Technology Conference.  You might be wondering why the conference title is exceptionally long - it's the result of the merger of two conferences.  The CIT conference was scheduled for earlier this year, but was postponed by one of the many massive snowstorms we had this year in the Northeast.  You may recall that I blogged about my anticipated (but alas canceled) presentation with my students here.  After this second-chance presentation (fingers crossed) on Thursday morning, I will hop on a plane to Kalamazoo for the 46th International Congress on Medieval Studies.  There on Friday morning I will be presenting in a session sponsored by the Medieval Romance Society called "Traveling Texts: Adaptation of Medieval Romance."  I'm still tweaking this talk a bit, so I thought I'd share the text of it here.  Please let me know what you think!
