In conjunction with the theme of a future issue of the Shakespeare
Yearbook, "Shakespeare and the Reformation" (co-edited with Glyn
Parry), the journal will sponsor a special session at the upcoming
Annual Meeting of the MLA (Washington, D.C., December 27-30, 2004).

For both the MLA Session and the concomitant issue of the Shakespeare
Yearbook we welcome proposals for papers that explore the ways in
which Shakespeare's plays and poems engage with the spiritual and
temporal consequences of religious change in Elizabethan and Jacobean
England.

Please submit title and 100-250-word abstract of proposed paper along
with a brief scholarly bio by March 15, 2005 to Douglas A. Brooks,
Editor, Shakespeare Yearbook (dbrooks_at_tamu.edu). Digital submissions
as e-mail attachments in Rich Text Format or Microsoft Word are
preferred. Proposed papers must not exceed eight double-spaced
pages in Times New Roman 12 point.

Those prospective contributors who are unable to attend MLA, but wish
to propose essays for the issue of Shakespeare Yearbook should submit
abstracts and brief scholarly bios to Douglas A. Brooks
(dbrooks_at_tamu.edu) by May 25, 2005
