Submissions are invited for a special issue of *Romanticism on the Net* 19
(August 2000) on "New Texts and Textual Scholarship in British Literature
1780-1830."
Topics that might be covered in this issue include: What new texts (texts
newly edited from manuscript, those recovered from the less-read literature
of the period, or texts that have been substantially re-edited) will shape
discussion of British literature 1780-1830 in the first decade of the next
century? Has the use of electronic media increased awareness of the material
nature of the printed book, and if so, how will this affect the reception of
the printed text? How will recent developments in textual scholarship alter
our perception and reception of the writing of this period? How can editors
best represent the known "versions" of literary works in texts for students'
or scholars' use? How will textual scholarship continue to reconfigure the
anthologies, paperback editions, and other resources we use in teaching the
literature of the period?
Papers will be restricted to 8,000 words and should follow MHRA, not MLA
style: in particular, references should be given in endnotes, not in a List
of Works Cited. See a recent issue of the journal for more information.
This special issue will be guest-edited by Anthony John Harding. Deadline
for submissions: 1 December 1999. Please send an electronic version of your
essay (either on a floppy disc or as an attachment, Wordperfect or Rich Text
Format) to: Dr A. J. Harding, Department of English, University of
Saskatchewan, Saskatoon SK S7N 5A5, CANADA. Email address:
