across the disciplines to review books devoted to the emerging field of
cyberculture. Book reviews run from 1000 to 2000 words and are published
online each month. To give potential reviewers a feel for what we are
looking for, recently reviewed books include: Ellen Ullman's CLOSE TO
THE MACHINE: TECHNOPHILIA AND ITS DISCONTENTS; David Lyon and Elia Zureik,
editors, COMPUTERS, SURVEILLANCE, AND PRIVACY; Anne Balsamo's TECHNOLOGIES
OF THE GENDERED BODY: READING CYBORG WOMEN; and Julian Dibbell's MY TINY
LIFE: CRIME AND PASSION IN A VIRTUAL WORLD. RCCS is especially interested
in finding scholars to review the following titles:

Contributors are needed for the RSVP Bibliography, which is published
biennially in Victorian Periodicals Review (VPR). Contributors monitor
assigned journals for articles dealing with periodicals published between
1800-1914 and submit annotated index entries for inclusion in the next
Bibliography. Contributors are acknowledged in VPR.

We currently have a large number of unassigned journals, and we thus need
many new contributors, especially ones with access to Canadian and Scottish
periodicals.

Two years ago in the Leiden Faculty of Letters a series of lectures
was given on "Greek Myth and Roman History on Stage and
Screen", viz. how the myths and the history had been represented in
plays and films. It was the intention of the organizers of the series
that the lectures would eventually be published as a book.
Unfortunately, for various reasons, only a portion of the lectures
have been submitted as articles. Nevertheless, it still remains an
interesting project and I was wondering whether you could help us
by publicizing the Call for Articles for the projected book on your
Website. We already have articles on such subjects as "Greek
