The COLLOQUIUM
This conference is based on invited presentations from scholars working on
Rosamond Lehmann and is open to the wider academic community.
Postgraduate students are especially welcome. The event is one of a series on
early twentieth-century women writers held at Anglia Ruskin University and
follows successful colloquia on Nancy Cunard in 2001, Storm Jameson in 2005,
Sylvia Townsend Warner in 2006 and Winifred Holtby in 2007. The aim of the
colloquium is to analyse the scope and importance of Lehmanns writings with
an emphasis on aspects of her writing about which little has been written. In
addition to papers on Lehmanns novels including Dusty Answer (1927), The
Weather in the Streets (1936) and The Ballad and the Source (1944) several
contributors will discuss the short stories in The Gipsys Baby and Other
Stories (1946). The colloquium will be organised into round table sequences of
informal presentations and open discussions. The Convenors will be pleased to
hear from others who have worked on Lehmann and wish to speak. Please e-
mail one of the convenors explaining your interest in Lehmann if you would like
to contribute or have any questions.
A programme, receipt, map of Cambridge, map of the campus and information
about parking, transport and bed and breakfast will be sent on registration.
Mary Joannou is Cambridge-based and is happy to answer both practical and
academic enquiries about the conference. 0845 196 2049 or e-mail:
