'Tyndale, More and their circles: Persecution and martyrdom under the
Tudors.'

 

Liverpool Hope University, United Kingdom, 3-6 July 2008

 

This will be an interdisciplinary conference which will bring together
scholars interested in the religious history and literature of the Tudor
period. Although there will be a focus on lives, works and reputations of
Tyndale and More, papers are sought on martyrdom, religious persecution and
inter-Christian conflict generally and thus may range in subject from Anne
Askew to Edmund Campion.

Teaching the 18th Century: a one-day workshop sponsored by the English
Subject Centre
13 September 2007
University of the West of England, Bristol, UK

Eighteenth-century studies have recently undergone exciting changes.
Research has expanded to include many non-canonical texts and a variety of
interdisciplinary approaches, while new electronic resources (especially
Eighteenth-Century Collections Online) with the potential to revolutionise
both research and teaching have become available. At the same time, students
seem to find it increasingly difficult to relate to the period.

Naturalism to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Newport Beach, CA on October
