The second part of Medievalism and the Academy identifies the four
specific questions that have come to focus recent scholarship in
medievalism: What is difference? what is theory? woman? God? The
impact of cultural studies on contemporary medieval studies is
investigated in this latest volume of Studies in Medievalism, which
also offers an account of the developing interest of contemporary
cultural theorists inthe medieval period. Rather than dismissing
the connection between medieval studies and cultural criticism as
an expression of academic self-interest, the essays identify
specific questions which engage both, such as race, history, women,
religion, and literature. Topics include the use of Augustine by
postcolonial theorists; the influence of studies in medieval
mysticism on the development of women's studies programs; and the
influence of Foucault and NewHistoricism on the study of medieval
history. Contributors: ELLIE RAGLAND, TIMOTHY RICHARDSON, MICHAEL

DELL'OLIO
Pismawallops Island is a quiet place where nothing much happens,
even at the High School. That's why JJ MacGregor likes it. So when
a high-handed new member of the PTA threatens to disrupt the even
tenor of life in the middle of Puget Sound, JJ insists someone
needs to take a firm stand against her. But then Letitia Lemoine
shows up very dead in the freezer where there should have been 30
boxes of ice cream bars, and JJ worries that someone might have
taken her command too seriously. Not the sort to sit back while
someone else solves her problems, JJ just can't help asking a few
questions. But someone wants her to stop-and an acerbic sense of
humor, insatiable curiosity, and carefully hidden dedication to
duty lead her into more trouble than she knows how to handle.
