Hearty congratulations to Professor Emeritus and former CMRS Director Richard Firth Green, who has been awarded the Haskins Medal of the Medieval Academy of America for his book Elf Queens and Holy Friars: Fairy Beliefs and the Medieval Church. A well-deserved honor!

"Richard Firth Green’s Elf Queens and Holy Friars is a masterpiece of fresh and meticulous research, and the capstone of a long and distinguished career. Its subject is medieval conceptions of fairies, defined as “that class of numinous, social, humanoid creatures who were widely believed to live at the fringes of the human lifeworld and interact intermittently with human beings” (p. 4)."
