<center><italic>Castelvecchio Pascoli, near Lucca, Tuscany, 16-21 September 2000</center>
<center></italic>A Conference Sponsored by the European Science Foundation</center>
<center>Chairman: Professor J. R. Mulryne, University of Warwick</center>
<center>Vice-Chairman: Dr Gillian Bepler, Herzog August Bibliothek</center>
<center><italic><underline>Preliminary Programme</center>
<flushboth></underline>Renaissance Festivals have become over recent years an area of
considerable academic interest. Festivals invite attention as
significant political occasions, deriving meaning from, and conferring
meaning on, the events they celebrate: dynastic marriages, entries to
major cities, and royal and ducal births, christenings and funerals.
They are also significant events in the history of culture, promoting and
reflecting the development of art forms including music, the visual arts,
and theatre performance. All of these aspects will be considered by a
conference which, like the Renaissance Festival itself, will be pan-
European in scope, and during which senior scholars from Europe and
North America will examine and interpret festivals in central and
Eastern Europe, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Germany, and
Scandinavia.</flushboth>
<flushboth>The conference will take place in a fully-equipped international
conference centre set in one of the most beautiful parts of Tuscany. In
addition to hearing a wide array of papers by senior scholars,
conference members will have opportunities to explore the region,
including taking part in a half-day excursion to Lucca. <bold>The deadline
to register for the conference is 17 April 2000. Further details,
including fees and registration procedure, may be found at the
