CFP: Lives Lived in Theory: Autocritical Interventions in Life Writing

What interests me today is not strictly called either 'literature'
or 'philosophy'... 'autobiography' is perhaps the least
inadequate name.

                                    --Jacques Derrida

The editors of ESQ: A JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN RENAISSANCE are now
considering new essays for possible publication in late 2006 and 2007
issues. We invite submission of original articles and notes on
nineteenth-century American literature, welcome work grounded in a
wide range of theoretical and critical perspectives, and encourage
inquiries proposing submissions and projects. Essays will be reviewed
thoughtfully and promptly.

Electronic submissions, in Rich Text or Microsoft Word format, are
preferred; send to argerj_at_mail.wsu.edu.
