Submissions are invited for a collection of essays on Renaissance Literature and Geography to be edited by Richard Helgerson and Joanne Woolway. The collection will grow out of a panel which has been accepted for presentation at the Modern Languages Association Conference this December and will be published initially as a special issue of Early Modern Literary Studies. We hope that the collection will also be published in conventional paper format afterwards.

Papers of approximately 5000-9000 words should deal with any aspect of the interrelation of literature and geography in the period 1500-1700, including cartography, landscape depiction, ideas of culture and place, perspective, book illustration, or the formation of the disciplines. The deadline for submissions is 1 June 1997.

As this collection will be published electronically, illustrations, hypertextual links to other resources, or moving images are especially welcomed. Papers should be sent on disk, with accompanying material, if appropriate, to Joanne Woolway, Oriel College, Oxford, OX1 4EW, England. emls@english.ox.ac.uk
