Dear List,
We're happy to announce that the revised and presumably final conference program for Spenser2015 in Dublin is on-line: http://www.spenser2015.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Place-of-Spenser-Spensers-Place-Final-Programme-100615.pdf
Thank you to everyone who has made it possible. Many thanks especially to the presiders and to those who volunteered to preside but could not be squeezed into the final version of the program.
Also on-line at the conference website (www.Spenser2015.com) is a map of conference hotels and locations.
Registrants will have received or will soon receive information on travel from Dublin airport to downtown (tip: the #16 city bus is the cheapest ride in and a double-decker to boot).
An exciting social events calendar has been fleshed out as well: http://www.spenser2015.com/social-programme/
It begins Wednesday, June 17 and includes a reception, exhibit, dinner, book launch, concert, cathedral and castle tours, fish-and-chips and more.
[NB: the walking tour on Wed is from 11-2pm, not 11-5pm; also, due to gallery renovation, the "Faire Geraldine" portrait is NOT on regular display in the National Gallery but the breathtaking Caravaggio "Taking of Christ" still is thank goodness].
For those of you arriving early, Bloomsday is on June 16: chances are you'll see a James Joyce impersonator if you hang around Davy Byrne's or Stephen's Green.
We look forward to seeing many of you in Dublin.
Sincerely, Tom, Jane and Andrew (the Organizing Committee)
