CALL FOR PAPERS:

SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF AUTHORSHIP, READING AND PUBLISHING

FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE

WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, 18-21 JULY 1996

The fourth annual conference of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing will meet 18-21 July 1996 in Worcester, Massachusetts, under the auspices of the American Antiquarian Society and its Program in the History of the Book in American Culture. SHARP welcomes proposals for papers dealing with the creation, diffusion, or reception of the written or printed word in any historical period. Conference proceedings will be in English, but papers may deal with any national literature. There are no limitations on topics, but we may organize special panels on comparative histories of the book; the book in the Americas; the collection and description of archival material and statistical information on printing, publishing, and reading; and future agendas for the field.

Submissions are encouraged from academics, graduate students, librarians, professionals in the book trades, and others with a special angle of vision on the field. Proposals for either individual papers or full panels may be submitted.

Proposals (one pages maximum) and inquiries about the conference itself should be sent to: SHARP 1996, American Antiquarian Society, 185 Salisbury Street, Worcester, MA 01609-1634 USA, fax 508-754-9069, e-mail cfs@mark.mwa.org. Although submissions by e-mail and fax will be accepted, original hard copy is greatly preferred. The deadline for submission of proposals is 20 November 1995. For information about AAS and its Program in the History of the Book in American Culture, contact John B. Hench, the Society's director of research and publication, or Caroline F. Sloat, as above.
