I welcome abstracts and full essays for a proposed volume on American
'New Criticism'. Essays that deal in an original manner with the history
of this movement (including its impact and legacy in higher education,
its connections to Continental formalist movements and authors, etc.)
are especially encouraged, as are essays that address the theoretical
and philosophical implications of New Critical practice. A good general
description of the proposed book's area would be 'history of criticism
and theory.' I am in talks with Cambridge Scholars Press regarding this
volume, and will submit a formal proposal after I have selected contributors.

Abstracts should be approximately 500 words long. Please submit abstracts
in MS Word or RTF by email attachment (or inline) to Dr. Alfred J. Drake at
ajdrake_at_ajdrake.com and include in your email's subject heading the phrase
"New Criticism" along with your name. Please include a CV as a separate
attachment, and if you maintain an academic website, you are welcome to
include a link to it in your abstract or CV. My preference is for work that
has not yet been published, but I will consider previously published material.

The deadline for abstracts has been extended to August 31, 2007. I will
confirm receipt promptly.
