Rewriting the Long Eighteenth Century
David Nichol Smith Seminar XIII

10-14 April 2007

The University of Otago English Department invites you to the 13th
David Nichol Smith Seminar, with the theme "Rewriting the Long
Eighteenth Century". We welcome proposals for papers or panels on new
theoretical approaches; contemporary rewritings and films of
eighteenth-century texts; non-canonical texts and genres such as
letters, travel literature, journalism, translations; transitions and
boundaries within the long eighteenth century; and popular culture.
We especially welcome talks on works of European literature, as well
as art and music of the period.

Dear Scholars and writers;

It's time again to plan for your jaunt to beautiful Albuquerque in
February to attend the SW/Texas Regional of the Popular Culture / American
Culture Association Conference. Held at a downtown hotel only minutes
from the heart of the city and a 4 minute bus ride to the Historic part of
Albq, the conference is a must have on your schedule.

Call for Proposals (Special Journal Issue)

With the increased interest in George Gascoigne demonstrated in recent years
and with the approach of the 430th anniversary of his death, now seems an
opportune moment to gather new essays that focus on the poet's life and work.
To that end, Early Modern Literary Studies (EMLS) is publishing a special
issue on George Gascoigne and invites essay submissions that address his life,
work, or influence.

CONFERENCE TITLE:
Nancy Drew and Girl Sleuths: Past, Present, and Future

Conference dates: February Friday 16 – Saturday 17, 2007

Wilson College, Chambersburg, PA

Appalachia Issue

Appalachia is perhaps America's most misunderstood region, a mountainous
land of hard-working people and devastating (and, too often, devastated)
beauty, a place that is ridiculed by residents of America's glory
coasts-ridiculed, that is, when it is paid any attention at all. But
what really goes on in Appalachia? What are the poems and stories and
songs that come from these mountains, and how do they illuminate the
people who live there?
