John Buchan Revisioned: Beyond The Thirty-Nine Steps

A collection of essays re-examining the work and writing of John Buchan =
(1875-1940), later Lord Tweedsmuir, in the context of post-1950 =
appraisals of his work.=20

Timed to appear as Buchan's works come out of copyright in the UK, this =
collection is aimed at students of late nineteenth- to early =
twentieth-century literature and history, and at the general reader. The =
essays will re-evaluate Buchan's work in a post-post-modernist context. =
Jargon will be kept to a minimum.

The Robert Penn Warren Circle requests papers dealing with any aspect of Warren and his circle of friends and colleagues for the 2007 meeting of SAMLA, which will be held in Atlanta, Georgia November 9 through November 11. We welcome in particular essays that address Warren's influences on his contemporaries or contemporary influences on Warren and his works. However, all papers on Warren are appreciated.
   
  Please send abstracts of 250-500 words in the text of an e-mail or as a Word or Rich Text Format attachment to Dr. Keri Overall at kleoverall_at_yahoo.com by Friday, March 23.

MLA CHICAGO 2007 BECKETT AND BILINGUALISM

SPECIAL SESSION
