Dear list members,
Just a reminder that the deadline for submissions to the Sixteenth Century Society Conference arrives in less than a week, Wednesday, April 15. Proposals for individual papers and full panels on any aspect of English literature and/or culture from about 1450-1680 are welcome!
We currently have a rich selection of proposals for work on Sidney and the Sidney Circle, I'm happy to say, but more such abstracts are strongly encouraged. There are relatively few proposals for work on Spenser so far, surprisingly; I would love to be able to include as many as possible in this year's meeting! If you are currently engaged in work on Sidney, the Sidney Circle, and/or Spenser, please consider submitting a proposal to the conference and joining us in October at the gathering.
I've pasted the call for papers below. If you have any questions, just write me at

With best wishes,
Scott
