January 15, 2012 | Comments Off on International range of abstracts
Conference preparations are proceeding apace, with an international range of contributors and topics covered in the excellent abstracts received to date. Our featured plenary speakers include Dr Danielle Fuller (University of Birmingham), Peggy Hughes (Edinburgh City of Literature) Paula Morris (University of Stirling) and Miha Kovac, University of Ljubljana, as well as participants from Australia, Denmark, France, Japan, U.K. and the U.S.A. There are still slots available to accommodate proposals related to these areas, joining already accepted papers covering subjects as diverse as eighteenth-century book towns, bookshops as social networks, literary pilgrimages and literary festivals, bookselling and live literary events, and studies of book festivals and book towns in Japan, India and Australia. Please send email attachment abstracts of 300-400 words, plus a biography of 100-150 words, to: book.cultures@stir.ac.uk.
