UNPACKING THE ANTHOLOGY

A one-day conference on anthologies, anthologists and anthologising in 
literary studies

Edge Hill College, 16th July 1999

Anthologies of all kinds are increasingly popular as both a teaching 
resource and in the market place. The aim of the conference is to 
explore the diverse and encompassing aspects of the making and use of 
the anthology from both historical and contemporary perspectives.

Papers are invited on issues arising from the process of anthologising 
both prose and poetry, and the implications of the use of anthologies 
into the millennium.

Possible areas could include:

Critical Histories * Genre * Readership * Publications and publishing 
* Teaching with anthologies * Anthologies and the Canon * Aesthetics 
of selection * Class race and gender * Anthologists and the process of 
editing * The politics of anthologies * Constructing the image and 
reputation of individual authors through anthologies.

Please send abstracts of about 300 words by May 1st 1999 to:
