The Ricardian reserved for research articles, review articles, and book reviews, the Ricardian Bulletin serves as a less-formal member forum, focusing primarily on events in England, where the majority of members are to be found. Because new members, in particular, may join with only a limited background in the literature of the period, becoming familiar with Ricardian sources and issues sometimes an overpowering task. To help give new members the tools they need to pursue their own interests, a series entitled Back to Basics was launched in June 1992, offering reading lists for basic Ricardian issues and for further study of fifteenth-century nobility and gentry, along with a glossary of medieval terminology often puzzling to the armchair medievalist. Ricardian Register A quarterly publication of the American Branch, the Ricardian Register reflects the diverse interests and backgrounds of its audience. With our obligations to scholarship fulfilled by the parent society's Ricardian , we can relax and have a little fun here.
Serious articles rub shoulders with the less serious and, occasionally, the downright frivolous.
Deadlines are February 25, May 25, August 25, and November 25. Consult the editor for display advertising rates. In England, the Richard III Society has published several works of fifteenth-century source documents and scholarship on the period, either directly or through its charitable sister organization, the Richard III and Yorkist History Trust. Additional information on these publications is found in the section on academic activities . The American Branch has sponsored a reprint of a classic 1938 novel, Patrick Carleton's Under the Hog , which is available from the sales officer, as are most of the parent Society's publications still in print.
