John A. Geck is Associate Professor in the Department of English at the Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada, where his research deals with transmissions of high and low culture in later medieval and early modern England, encompassing romance, hagiography, and drama; medievalisms and other projections of the medieval in popular and digital culture. Rosemary O’Neill is Associate Professor of English and Women’s and Gender Studies at Kenyon College, USA. Her research explores the intersection of economics and medieval literature, and she has published and forthcoming work on Langland; Chaucer; the figure of Judas in medieval drama and poetry; and the resonances of medieval poetry in contemporary literature. Noelle Phillips is English Instructor at Douglas College, Canada. Her research engages in medieval book history, the work of Chaucer and Langland, the book collecting habits of the Earls of Northumberland, and most recently, the use of medievalism in marketing craft beer and breweries. Her recent book, Craft Beer Culture and Modern Medievalism: Brewing Dissent (2019) explores the stories and mythologies inherent to modern craft brewing.
