Papers are sought for an RSA (Renaissance Society of America) session proposal that explore the uses of Virgil in Renaissance literature, art, or music. Papers may consider imitations or translations of Virgilian poetry, as well as the use of classical Rome or the Troy legend as exemplary models. Papers that focus on Renaissance epic poetry and/or transnational issues are especially welcome.

Please submit a 150-word abstract for a 20-minute presentation and a one-page abbreviated CV (300-word maximum) to Joseph M. Ortiz (jmortiz7@utep.edu) by June 1.
