Schonebaum and Tina Lu, to be publsihed by MLA and would very much like you
to participate.

We ask that you respond to the brief questionnaire below. We are
particularly interested in your response to the final item concerning
whether you would be willing to contribute an essay to the volume. Like
other similar books published by the MLA, this will contain not only a
