The South Central Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies
will hold its annual conference at Cocoa Beach, Florida,
February 23-26, 2006. My co-chair, Michael Stasio, and I
are interested in papers that take an interdisciplinary
approach to literature published during the long
eighteenth century (1660-1815, not including the
Romantics). Papers might combine psychology and
literature, music and literature, art and literature, etc.
Please send a short abstract to Kathryn Duncan at
kathryn.duncan_at_saintleo.edu by November 1, 2005. For more
