CALL FOR PAPERS -- NEASECS 1991
"USES OF THE PAST"
The University of Vermont is happy to host the 1991
Annual Meeting of the Northeast American Society for
Eighteenth-Century Studies, to be held October 31-November 3,
1991, at the newly opened Sheraton-Burlington Hotel and
Conference Center. The principal focus of our meeting will be
"Uses of the Past," but proposals for papers in all areas of
eighteenth-century studies are welcome. If you would like to
propose a paper for one of the approved sessions listed below,
please send inquiries or a one-page abstract directly to the chair
no later than April 15. If you have a paper proposal that doesn't
fit any of the listed sessions or would still like to organize a panel
for which you would find the participants, please contact the
Program Chair, Dennis F. Mahoney, Department of German
and Russian, University of Vermont, Burlington, VT 05405-0160;
(802) 656-1476; BITNET: [log in to unmask]
A very special feature of our meeting will be the
appearance of Charles Rosen as keynote speaker. Professor
Rosen will also be performing a Saturday night recital in
conjunction with the University of Vermont's Lane Series.
Other special events planned include a Thursday night
performance by members of the UVM Music Department as well
as a Friday night concert by Helicon, a three-person group
specializing in folk and traditional music from around the
world--once again a Lane Series event.
Burlington, with its waterfront on Lake Champlain and
its downtown pedestrian marketplace, is an attractive town to
visit at any time of the year; with any luck, we should still be able
to enjoy some fall foliage in the Champlain Valley, as well as
vistas of the Green Mountains during coffee breaks at the
Sheraton's glass-enclosed conference center. The special
convention rates are $80 single, $90 double, $100 triple, $110
quad; free parking and complimentary van service to and from
Burlington International Airport are also provided. The toll-free
reservation number is 1-800-677-6576.
USAIR will be the official carrier of the 1991 NEASECS
Meeting, offering 40% off regular economy fare and 5% off the
lowest applicable fare for participants traveling roundtrip on
USAIR to Burlington, VY, from the US; our Canadian
colleagues will receive 35% off coach for a 2-night stay, or 30% off
for Canadian cities with no minimum stay. For information
and reservations, contact Accent Travel/Carlson Travel Network
by calling 1-800-866-0110 and pressing 3 for groups; please
identify yourself as a participant traveling to Burlington for the
NEASECS meeting.
As you can see, many of the preparations have been made.
Now all we need are your paper proposals!
