In memory of Clifford Davidson
We regret to report the passing of Clifford Davidson, professor emeritus of English and Medieval Studies.
Prof. Davidson worked to shape the International Congress on Medieval Studies, which he attended 57 times over his lifetime. He was a special advocate for hosting unique performance experiences at the Congress, which he often created in collaboration with his late wife, the musicologist Audrey Ekdahl Davidson, the local group Early Music Michigan, and many other groups and individuals. Lately, this legacy has been continued through the establishment of the Mostly Medieval Theatre Festival.
Prof. Davidson was a prolific scholar and was the author, co-author, editor, or co-editor of more than forty books and monographs. He founded the journal (1967) and served as its co-editor for 32 years, and he created the Early Drama, Art, and Music research project (1977), which is now a thriving book series at Medieval Institute Publications.
