Call for contributions

CFP: "The idea of Europe in the 18th century" (6/30/2007;9/20/2007-9/22/2007)

The eighteenth century is often considered as a key period in the emergence of a
broader European consciousness and the synchronous decline of older imagined
communities such as Occident and Christianity. At the end of the eighteenth
century, however, the age of "old Europe" based on dynasties, elite culture and
balance of power politics was profoundly shaken, if not destroyed, by the
French Revolution and the ensuing international instability. A heated
discursive battle over the redefinition of Europe ensued.

Call For Papers
 
ecloga, a peer-refereed journal run by English Studies postgraduates at the University of Strathclyde, invites papers for the next issue. Established in 2001, ecloga has a growing reputation for publishing outstanding research by postgraduates and academics from Scotland, the UK and abroad.
 
For the next issue of ecloga we are interested in receiving papers on any topic from the broad field of English studies. Our aim in not providing a title or theme is to encourage a range of papers that reflects current research interests. We would also welcome submissions of creative writing, interviews and contemporary academic reviews.
