Subject: Literary Circles Conference at Dearborn
Because of a problem with the mail (probably due to the Northwest
Airline strike), programs for a forthcoming conference at the University
of Michigan at Dearborn have not been received by many of the people to
whom they were sent. What follows is a brief overview of the
conference. For full information, including details about registration,
please contact Professor Claude J. Summers at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. His
mailing address is Humanities Department, UM-D, Dearborn, MI
48128-1491.
** PLEASE NOTE: This conference should be especially memorable since it
will pay tribute to Professor Ted-Larry Pebworth on the occasion of his
retirement from the Faculty of the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
Please forward this announcement to other relevant lists. Thanks!
