Call for Papers

1997 Midwest Modern Language Association Annual Convention, November 6-8, 1997,
Ramada Congress Hotel, Chicago, Illinois

Special Session on Early Modern British Women Writers:

Early Modern British Women Writers:
the Individual and the Tradition, 1500-1750

This session will provide a forum for discussing the relationship of one or
more Early Modern women writers both to the larger literary tradition and to
the works of other women.   Papers accepted for this session will focus on an
individual writer's work and examine how her writing revises or, perhaps,
reinforces, our understanding of the literary communities active in Early
Modern England.  Papers focusing on individual women who sought to create
communities of women writers will be especially welcome.

Please send papers (no longer than 8 single-spaced pages) or 1-2 page abstracts
by 15 April 1997 to:

Frances Murphy Zauhar

Subject:        Judith Shakespeare in SQ

My colleague Elizabeth Hageman has asked that I bring this item to the
attention of SHAKSPERians.

The December issue of SQ, a special issue entitled Teaching Judith Shakespeare,
treats methods and implications of teaching writing by early modern women in
conjunction with Shakespeare's poems and plays. Edited by Elizabeth Hageman and
Sara Jayne Steen, the issue contains essays by Frances Teague, Jan Stirm, Irene
Dash, Lisa Hopkins, Josephine Roberts, Nancy Gutierrez, Megan Matchinske,
Theresa Kemp, Kim Hall, and Jane Donawerth.

Copies may be ordered for $12 (which includes postage within the U.S.) from
*Shakespeare Quarterly*, c/o Folger Library, 201 East Capitol Street,
Washington, D.C. 20003.  For rates outside of the U.S., call 202-675-0351 or
fax 202-544-4623.

Cheers,
Douglas Lanier
