Working medievalists are often the only scholar of the Middle Ages in a department, a university, or a hundred-mile radius. While working to build a body of focused scholarly work, the lone medievalist is expected to be a generalist in the classroom and a contributing member of a campus community that rarely offers disciplinary community in return. As a result, overtasked and single medievalists often find it challenging to advocate for their work and field. As other responsibilities and expectations crowd in, we come to feel disconnected from the projects and subjects that sustain our intellectual passion. An insidious isolation even from one another creeps in, and soon, even attending a conference of fellow medievalists can become a lonely experience. Surrounded by scholars with greater institutional support, lower teaching loads, or more robust research agendas, we may feel alienated from our work ? the work to which we?ve dedicated our careers. 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a940.1072 700 $aTracy$b Kisha G$01022643 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910315232103321 996 $aThe Ballad of the Lone Medievalist$92429212 997 $aUNINA
