Probably. (CFP: SCSC 2017, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, 26-29 October) Hello -- Orson Wells came from Kenosha, near Milwaukee. Madison is only 45 min west, and 30 min west of that is Taliesin, the school building, home and studio of Frank Lloyd Wright: a world masterpiece in a gorgeous valley in a beautiful part of the world. You can have coffee in a restaurant FLW designed overlooking the Wisconsin River. The restaurant doubles as the visitor center for Taliesin. FLW was buried near there, until his widow moved his bones. The finely wrought headstone is still there by the little chapel down the road. Plenty of FLW houses in Madison, too, as well as good coffee shops and a beautiful beaux arts capitol building dominating the isthmus. Climb the hills on the UW campus by the observatory and look for the animal effigy mounds left by the native Americans. Sacred ground. --Tom Thomas Herron Department of English East Carolina University (252) 328-6413 Editor, Explorations in Renaissance Culture (published with Brill per 2015.

Probably. (CFP: SCSC 2017, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, 26-29 October) I can totally support the notion that Milwaukee is a very pleasant and interesting city to visit and nothing to sneeze at as a destination. The Museum right on the lake is an architectural masterpiece of the first order. Not to speak of the fact that Chicago is just ninety minutes away by car. For overseas visitors who have a few more days to spend it’s a great opportunity to explore the Central European roots of the Midwest.

Probably. (CFP: SCSC 2017, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, 26-29 October) Dear list members, This is a quick announcement of the call for papers for SCSC 2017, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 26-29 October. The Sixteenth Century Society Conference has become a prime venue for presenting work on Spenser, Sidney, and the Sidney Circle, and, as the program coordinator for English-literature sessions at the conference, I look forward to continuing that tradition! Admittedly, it will be hard to beat last year's SCSC venue--Bruges, Belgium--but Milwaukee almost certainly has its charms. Why, H. W. Longfellow and Gordon Lightfoot fans alike will thrill, of course, to attend a conference right there on the shores of "the big lake they once called Gitche-Gumee." And who would not want to walk the very sidewalks once trod by Lenny, Squiggy, Laverne, *and* Shirley? There's probably more. Yes, I'm kidding! All jesting aside, Milwaukee is a large, thriving, festive lakefront metropolis known for its nicely preserved industrial-era architecture, its art museum, the Milwaukee Riverwalk, and Pier Wisconsin.It has also been long famous for its beer and boasts many craft breweries and fine, waterfront eateries. It will be a fun place to hear stimulating papers and to catch up with colleagues and friends. SCSC welcomes submissions on all aspects of English literature and/or culture from about 1450 to 1660. Proposals for full panels and for independent papers are both encouraged. In addition to panels and papers, SCSC is also accepting proposals for three different kinds of workshops. Please see the official call for papers below for details. The deadline for all proposals is April 15. I hope to see you all in Milwaukee in October 2017! If you have any questions, just write me at the email address at the end of this message. Sincerely, Scott Scott Lucas English-literature program coordinator SCSC 2017 Scott C.

The deadline for proposals is April 15, 2017. In this year celebrating the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's "Ninety-Five Theses," the SCSC will meet in Milwaukee, a city with a proud German and Lutheran heritage. As always, we will accept papers on any topic within the "long sixteenth century," not just those on Germany, or Lutheran subjects. Within four weeks after the April 15 deadline, the Program Committee will notify all those who submitted proposals. The conference will once again host poster sessions. In addition to standard panels, the organizing committee will be accepting proposals for four types of alternate panels: • Workshop Option A: Discussion of pre-circulated papers in a workshop format (limit of 4 participants). • Workshop Option B: Analysis of thorny translation/paleography questions; pre-circulation not required (limit of 3 participants). Workshop Option C: Examination of a big issue or question with brief comments from presenters and lively audience participation (similar to roundtables with more audience participation; limit of 4 participants) •Roundtables sponsored by affiliated societies. Questions about formats should be directed to: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> We also welcome proposals for roundtables sponsored by scholarly societies that are affiliated with the SCSC. Abstracts (up to 250 words in length) for individual presentations and complete panels must be submitted online by 15 April 2017 at: www.sixteenthcentury.org/conference<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__click.icptrack.com_icp_relay.php-3Fr-3D38713997-26msgid-3D401896-26act-3DLJ3S-26c-3D882930-26destination-3Dhttp-253A-252F-252Fwww.sixteenthcentury.org-252Fconference&d=CwMFaQ&c=yHlS04HhBraes5BQ9ueu5zKhE7rtNXt_d012z2PA6ws&r=rG8zxOdssqSzDRz4x1GLlmLOW60xyVXydxwnJZpkxbk&m=G5TPEjSkCvYlYQG26UpLSh31Jpd-tih8yCLYk2PPq9M&s=aie4VHPM09vaYMOJAOjTPf048m2auz8rHNPTgEd-eo4&e=> The SCSC, founded to promote scholarship on the early modern era (ca. 1450 – ca. 1660), actively encourages the participation of international scholars as well as the integration of younger colleagues into the academic community. The SCSC is a not-for-profit scholarly organization. It receives no governmental or institutional funding. In order to participate in this conference, delegates or their sponsoring institution/organization will need to fund their own travel and lodging expenses in addition to a $195 per delegate registration fee or $100 student fee ($205 and $110 respectively after 1 September 2017). The registration fee is used to pay for conference facilities and general events. By paying the fee, delegates become members in the SCSC and receive the Sixteenth Century Journal.
