Dear all,
I wanted alert you all again about a call for papers for a session at
the 2011 MLA, on the subject of “Spenser and Marlowe.” The session is
jointly sponsored by the International Spenser Society and the Marlowe
Society of America. We’re interested in papers that find new ways of
talking about the relations of these two poets, writers who occupy so
central a place in Elizabethan literature, but are too rarely placed
side by side. The range of topics might include their poetic
languages, their uses of allegory, their ideas of character and
dramatic voice, their politics and theological concerns, their visions
of eros and power, their ideas of authorship, their approaches to
classical literature and mythology (Ovid, for instance), as well as
the question of Marlowe’s allusions to Spenser.
Send abstracts and inquiries by 15 March to both
Kenneth Gross, Department of English, University of Rochester
[log in to unmask]
and Roslyn Knutson, President, Marlowe Society, [log in to unmask]
thanks,
Ken
