he Sidney Society will sponsor two open sessions on Philip Sidney and his Circle at the 44th International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, Michigan), May 7-10 2009. The conference website is here: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/ <http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/> . Abstracts are invited on any subject dealing with Philip Sidney and his circle. As ever, we encourage proposals from newcomers as well as established scholars. For our third session this year, Margaret Hannay will be giving the Jan van Dorsten lecture, entitled 'Mary, Widow: Wroth after Urania': we will in particular welcome abstracts relating to the other Sidneys who have benefitted from her scholarly attentions - the Countess of Pembroke and Robert Sidney. Papers should be limited to twenty minutes in reading time. Please do not submit an abstract to two different sessions of the conference in the same year. Abstracts (500 words) should be submitted electronically and should indicate clearly your mailing address and phone number. If you need special equipment for the talk (digital projector, etc.), let us know when you submit your abstract, rather than later, please. Deadline for abstracts: September 15, 2008.
