Call for Papers (literature panel only):
Does the seaside have a literature?
We are looking for 20 minute papers on any aspect of modern coastal
writing, from Elizabeth Bowen's flamboyant villas to Walter
Greenwood's holiday resorts; from Iain Sinclair's Hastings to Margaret
Drabble's Ornemouth.
Please send 200 word abstracts to alexandra.harris_at_chch.ox.ac.uk by
16th February 2007.

This is a timely forum for the work of beach-combing scholars from
across the humanities, and an excellent opportunity to visit one of
Britain's finest modernist buildings, so come for a day beside the
sea.

Bexhill is less than two hours from London by train.
Fee 25 pounds (includes coffee and a good lunch).

To register call the De La Warr Pavilion box office on 01424 229111,
