********** BEN JONSON: TEXT, HISTORY, PERFORMANCE *************
*****************************************************************
An international conference on Ben Jonson will be held at The
School of English, University of Leeds on July 5th through the
7th, 1995.
This conference will focus on changing critical perceptions of
Jonson, both in relation to his own times, and to his afterlife
in the theatre and on the page. A central purpose of the
conference will be the discussion of proposals for a new complete
edition of Jonson. We shall be seeking to define the needs that
such an edition should fulfil for scholars, teachers and readers
in the next century.
Speakers will include David Bevington, Martin Butler, Michael
Cordner, D.H. Craig, Ian Donaldson, Joseph Loewenstein, Stephen
Orgel and Lois Potter.
Conference fee: 97 (English pounds) residential; 34 (English
pounds) non-residential.
