Tradition and renovation in the study of medieval English
The Spanish Society for Medieval English Language and Literature (SELIM) encourages and promotes the study of the written records and literary works of medieval England dated between the seventh and the fifteenth century.
SELIM organises annual international conferences that gather linguists, literary critics, and medievalists in general, around specialised panel sessions and keynote lectures. The journal of the Society, SELIM (ISSN 1132-631X), is a recognised academic publication that is listed in international reference indexes. The Society also supports financially the participation of predoctoral researchers and, throughout the country, funds courses and academic events that fall within the area of the society's interests.
The majority of SELIM members teach English Historical Linguistics, Medieval English Literature, or both. Their research in the Old English and the Middle English periods combines the philological tradition with state-of-the-art theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches, as we believe that only a delicate balance between tradition and renovation can bring perspectives and insights from related branches of the Humanities and ultimately shed light on this fascinating part of European history and culture.
While most SELIM members are affiliated with Spanish universities, the last years have seen the progressive incorporation into the Society of colleagues from European and American universities, which has extended the reach of our activities. If you are not a member of SELIM yet, we gladly invite you to join us, contribute to the Society's goals and share the national and international networking and friendship-building opportunities it fosters.2023 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE · SELIM 33 · UNIVERSITY OF MURCIA, 13-15 SEPT 2023

A forgotten poem by CS Lewis reveals details of friendships between fantasy writers and medievalists at the University of Leeds.
The 1935 poem, ‘Mód Þrýþe Ne Wæg’, was among a bundle of documents sold to the University’s Special Collections a decade ago.
It reveals Lewis' friendship with the Gordons, a married couple and Leeds medievalists who were also good friends with Lord of the Rings author, JRR Tolkien.
The poem was unearthed by Dr Andoni Cossio, researcher at the University of the Basque Country and the University of Glasgow and SELIM member, when he was exploring the University’s Tolkien-Gordon Collection. It is published for the first time in the Journal of Inklings Studies with a critical commentary by Dr Cossio.
