Call for Papers: "Listening to the Early Modern"
The peer-reviewed e-journal Early Modern Literary Studies
(http://purl.oclc.org/emls/emlshome.html) invites submissions for a
special issue entitled "Listening to the Early Modern".
How did Early Modern culture perceive sound? How far can we reconstruct
the ways in which speech, music, and even ambient noise were interpreted
as auditory experiences, and what are the implications of this for our
study of literary texts? This special issue will build on recent
scholarly work in these areas as well as on the electronic journal's
unique ability to incorporate sound clips into scholarly articles
themselves. Submissions are invited in the following or in any related
areas: speech, oratory, ballads, music and literature, the acoustics of
performance, Renaissance theories of sound, acoustic metaphors,
synaesthesia.
The closing date for submissions is 1 September 2000. Enquiries should be
directed to Matthew Steggle, [log in to unmask], the Managing Editor
(Special Issues).
Now in its fifth year of publication, Early Modern Literary Studies (ISSN
1201-2459) is a refereed journal serving as a formal arena for scholarly
discussion and as an academic resource for researchers in the area.
Articles in EMLS examine English literature, literary culture, and
language during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; responses to
published papers are also published as part of a Readers' Forum.
