The Wolf, the UK's 'leading independent poetry magazine' is accepting
submissions of literary criticism on any theme surrounding contemporary
poets or poetry. All essays should be between 1,000 - 2,000 words and focus
on poetry from after the 1950's. Recent literary criticism in The Wolf has

considered the position of the avant-garde in British academia.

CFP: Article Submissions for Volume--The Canterbury Tales Revisited--
21st Century Interpretations

In this volume we will seek to relinquish a false attempt
to "reconstruct" Chaucer's audience, an impossible task at best, or to
produce
an "authentically" medieval reading, but instead resituate the
Canterbury Tales within a context of modern readership and
scholarship, responding to the texts as 21st readers, recognizing
there is no way to escape the fact that we are colored by our own
period.

The 12th congress of the European Committee for Sports History will be hosted
by the University of Southern Brittany, Lorient, France, 20th-22nd September

CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE SUSAN GLASPELL SOCIETY ALA PANEL

Panel Topic: The Grotesque in the Work of Susan Glaspell, Djuna Barnes,
Zora Neale Hurston, and Their Modernist Contemporaries

Title: Banned in Boston
Proposed Panel for the American Literature Association Conference
Abstract deadline: January 12, 2007
Conference: May 24-27 in Boston, MA

The phrase "Banned in Boston" came into widespread usage in the 1920s during a particularly active campaign to censure objectionable, offensive, and obscene works in the city sometimes called "The Cradle of Liberty." This proposed panel for the 2007 Meeting of the ALA will examine the politics of moral enforcement as played out in Boston over the centuries. What social, political, religious, and economic agendas are served through the practice of censorship? How does the goal of protecting the public measure against the values of artistic liberty and freedom of speech?
