The Massachusetts Medievalist is feeling somewhat conflicted about her essay that has appeared in the most recent PMLA. “Afrisc Meowle: Exploring Race in the Old Exodus” is the culmination of years of thinking, drafting, and revising ideas about the African woman at the very end of the poem. I am indebted for support, assistance, and insight to many more people than I was able to thank in the notes; I hope that the essay nudges Old English studies further out of its often-fusty corner and more deeply into the dynamic conversations happening now around the Global Middle Ages.
