Members & Membership

Membership in the Société Rencesvals is open to anyone interested in the medieval Romance epic. Check out our membership list! The list of our Branch Officers is here.

If you meet the criteria for the "Bourse jeunes chercheurs", you may be eligible for support to participate in our triennial International Congress, and the America-Canadian branch is also pleased to announce a grant program to help cover conference registration for some scholars at our events.

Our main activities are providing sessions at various conference venues, international congresses, branch meetings, and the publication of bibliographical materials. The American-Canadian Branch of the Société has published Olifant, a journal dedicated to the Romance epic, and distributes an annual Bulletin Bibliographique from the International Organization. We also maintain an active email discussion list.

The American-Canadian branch is pleased to announce that our session at next year's 6oth International Congress on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo: "Emotion, Affect and the Medieval Epic", has been finalized. Come and join us, hear what's new!

Let's go to Neuchâtel 2025! The Société has just published the second Circular Letter for the upcoming 23rd International Congress in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Please make plans to join us there!
