Call for Contributors for a forthcoming text entitled:
‘Scandalosissima Scoundrelia:’ A Collection of Critical Essays on Mary
Delarivier Manley

Edited by Joni Goddard, Mills College, Oakland CA

****BOOK REVIEWS WANTED FOR ECCB****

I would like to invite submissions to a collection of new essays on the
seventeenth-century writer, Thomas Traherne. 2003 will mark the 100 year
anniversary of Dobell's first edition of Traherne's poetry, so the timing is
right for such a collection. The general theme is "new approaches to
Traherne," and that can be interpreted broadly. All scholarly ranks are
encouraged to submit. Major university presses have already expressed
initial interest in the project. Begin by sending a detailed
prospectus/abstract and a brief C.V. to:

Jacob Blevins
Department of Languages
McNeese State University
Lake Charles LA 70609-2655

Questions can be emailed to blevinsjake_at_aol.com.

The editorship of _Restoration: Studies in English Literary Culture,

at Tennessee Tech to J. Douglas Canfield at the University of Arizona

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

for "Form and Persuasion in Women's Informal Letters, 1400-1700," a
collection of essays to be published as a book.

Essays are sought on women's letters from any part of Europe EXCEPT
England, France and Italy, which are already well represented. Essays
on Spain, Germany and Central Europe are particularly needed. Essays on
letters by French or English women may be considered if they come from
mercantile, artisan, or other non-elite backgrounds.

CALL FOR ARTICLES

'Augustan Studies, 1700-1800', a new annual refereed journal is seeking
articles and notes for 1st first volume to be published late in 2002. The
editors are seeking contributions that deal with the literature of the 1740s.
Contributions on all genres are welcome in as far as they relate to this
decade. The editors take particular interest in the lyric poets of the period
(Collins, Akenside, the Wartons, etc.). Original findings could be
concentrated in a note. The journal attempts to publish as many notes as
possible since these might provide the basis for further critical reflection.

The Centre for Early Modern History, Culture and Science
publishes the journal "Zeitsprünge. Forschungen zur Frühen
Neuzeit" (Verlag Vittorio Klostermann) and invites contributions.
You will find informations about past issues of the journal on the
website of Verlag Vittorio Klostermann and within short time on our
website.

Our current interests are apocalyptic thinking and apocalyptic
movements, the history of secrets, the history of the senses, the
theory and history of perception.But we will also welcome other
essays relevant to the study of early modern history, culture and
science.

Please submit your essays either as email attachment or by
snailmail.
