2014 & after
OK, Allen is as good as retired!
Spring 2014 was my last semester of teaching. We celebrated my retirement at the department party in December 2013, which featured a funny skit by Terry Boyle (posted on my timeline at Facebook) and a few friends joined George and me for my last class, on Chaucer, April 24. Pictures coming.
Nicely timed, my two new books came out at the same time. Food, Eating and Identity in Early Medieval Britain and Teaching Beowulf in the Twenty-First Century, co-edited with Howell D. Chickering and R.F. Yeager. I've also begun a book called Boxing and Masculinity: A Beginner's Guide and another called Jacob and the Angel: Men and Masculinity in the Middle Ages. My most recent book, Anglo-Saxon Keywords, was published by Wiley-Blackwell in March 2012.
Once retired (1 July 2014) I will have cleared out of Crown Center 425 but will keep the same email address.
