In this impassioned and challenging lecture, Gillian Evans
addresses the interdisciplinary nature of the study of medieval
texts and its inherent problems, drawing important lessons for
teaching and research within the modern university. Through
discussion of the practices, philosophy and constitution of the
medieval community of authorship, Evans throws into relief the
assumptions which surround our current practice of dividing the
subject matter of study into discrete educational ???portions??? by
discipline and subject. While acknowledging that the task of
pursuing the truth through academic study has perhaps been made
more manageable by classification, Evans argues that ancient and
medieval scholars would not have flourished in a world of
single-subject disciplines. Instead, she calls for disciplinary
bounds to be broken and for the modern university to lead in the
preservation of learning for its own sake and the fostering of a
culture of open-ended enquiry.
