Unlike previous conferences, ESSE/4 will run as a series of seminars, with papers being circulated to seminar participants in advance, for roundtable discussion at the seminar session itself. While the primary mission of the conference is to strengthen links among European scholars, participation from scholars based outside of Europe is welcomed. Abstracts are invited for potential contributions to a seminar panel on 'The Future(s) of Editing'. Papers should broadly tackle the issue of new directions for the business of editing as we enter a new century. Participants may want to consider the ways in which the orthodoxies of the New Bibliographic tradition have come increasingly to be interrogated in recent decades, with the rise of revisionism; social and sociological theories of textuality; deconstruction; postmodernism and other developments. In particular, participants may wish to consider the implications for editing of the rise of the electronic text -- especially as hypertext promises radically to reconfigure our notions of what constitutes a text. It is hoped that a selection of the papers discussed at the seminar, supplemented by additional contributions, will be published as a book. As this is a seminar, rather than a regular conference session, anyone interested in taking part should send either a substantial abstract (c. 1,500 words) or a completed paper to: Dr. Andrew Murphy English Department University of Hertfordshire Watford Campus Aldenham Watford Herts WD2 8AT UK The deadline for receipt of papers/abstracts is 31 January, 1997.
