This is the final call for papers to be published in a book on
Romanticism and Cultural Universalism, due to appear late in the year
2001 or early
2002. So far leading romanticists like Larry Peer, Fred Burwick, and
Diane Hooveler have shown interest in the project. Since the scope of
the edition is limited, papers will be accepted based on their
relevance, originality, and scholarly significance. A grant for the
publication of the book has been secured via NDU and other local
sponsors. Papers should be e-mailed to the above address. Formating
will be set by the publisher. Documentation should follow the latest
edition of the MLA Handbook. Deadline for presenting abstracts
and fulltext papers is June 25, 2001.
