CALL FOR PAPERS

North American Society for the Study of Romanticism
University of Washington, Seattle: August 16-19, 2001

ROMANTIC SUBJECTS

The ninth annual meeting of the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism will take place on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, Aug. 16-19, 2001. We invite submission of papers to be presented at the conference. The deadline for submissions is January 15, 2001. Submissions should be either 500-word proposals or papers not longer than 2500 words. To facilitate handling, we would greatly appreciate electronic rather than mail submissions.

The conference topic is "Romantic Subjects." This topic is intended to encourage a non-exclusive focus on three areas: subjectivity, ideas and ideologies, and subject positions. A list of special sessions appears on the reverse; full descriptions and e-mail addresses can be found at the NASSR 2001 Web site: http://depts.washington.edu/nassr01/ . Proposals for these sessions should be sent directly to the session organizer. All other proposals for conference papers should be sent to the conference organizers at:

nassr01@u.washington.edu

If you submit to more than one special session, please inform both session leaders. Do not submit simultaneously to the special sessions and to the Seattle organizing committee; session organizers have an earlier decision date and have been asked to forward to us any proposals they cannot use.

Special opportunity:

We have reserved a block of 50 tickets at $176 per set for the Seattle Opera Production of Wagner's "Ring of the Nibelung," August 13, 14, 16, and 18. All three cycles of the Ring are currently sold out. If you wish to order a ticket in connection with the NASSR meeting, please consult the information on the NASSR 2001 Web site. THESE TICKETS MUST BE ORDERED AND PAID FOR (ALONG WITH CONFERENCE REGISTRATION) BY NOVEMBER 15.
