Dear Spenser List,
Reminder: deadline for individual paper submissions is Dec 15. Please see below and attached. The program has many open sessions and the conference's sub-societies specialize in Marvell, Queen Elizabeth I and art history. Do come!
Vol 41.2 of the Society journal, *Explorations in Renaissance Culture*, will be published very soon. It features articles by Garry Gibbs and Florinda Ruiz (on Golding's *Metamorphoses*), Laurie Ellinghausen (on Daborne's *A Christian Turned Turk*), Elisabeth Chaghafi (on CCCHA and "Astrophel"), and Brendan Prawdzik (on Marvell's "Eyes and Tears"). Submissions for future issues on any topic pertaining to the renaissance are encouraged.
Regards, --Tom
