Call for Papers: Books and their Settings in Renaissance Europe
The Society for Authorship, Reading and Publishing will sponsor several
panels at the Renaissance Society of America's annual conference in
Cambridge, England, from 7-9 April 2005. Organized by Germaine Warkentin
and Michael Ullyot, SHARP@RSA links the RSA with scholars studying the
creation, dissemination, and reception of script and print (see
http://www.sharpweb.org); we have organized nine panels at RSA meetings
since 2001.
Our theme in 2005 will be "Books in their historical and social settings
throughout Europe, from 1350 to 1700." We invite submissions that consider
books and manuscripts in relation to these contexts. Topics might
include: the production and circulation of manuscripts in centres of an
evolving print culture; the growth of local collections and the emergence
of the book collectors; libraries and librarianship; and particularly the
book and manuscript history of Renaissance and Reformation Cambridge.
Send abstracts (150 words *maximum* -- no exceptions) and one-paragraph
CVs to Germaine Warkentin, [log in to unmask] by 1 May, 2004 (note
that this is earlier than the general conference deadline to allow for
adjudication). Acceptances will be announced promptly. If by post, send
materials to Michael Ullyot, SHARP@RSA 2005, The Centre for Reformation
and Renaissance Studies, Victoria University in the University of Toronto,
71 Queen's Park Crescent East, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1K7 Canada. Fax:
416-585-4430.
Please note that the RSA's rule (again, no exceptions) is that all
paper-givers and chairs must be members of the Renaissance Society of
America by August 2004 or they will not be included in the programme. For
further information on the RSA, see http://www.rsa.org/
