CFP: 18th c. Death (5/20; EC/ASECS, 10/21-10/23)

For the EC/ASECS meeting at Washington and Jefferson College next October
21-23, with the overarching topic of "The Eternal Verities; or, Death,
Taxes, and Other Sensitive Subjects," Ted Braun and I are arranging two
sessions on death, with a follow-up panel discussion. We have space for
several papers: on descriptions of death or responses to death; on
strategies for approaching death, or fantasies of escaping death and
living forever, or speculations about life beyond death; on death as a
regular or spectacuclar part of 18C life; or best of all on topics we
haven't even imagined.

If you have an idea you'd like to develop into a paper, please send an
abstract to me or Ted (BRAUN@athens.fllt.udel.edu) by 20 May.

If you want more information about this meeting, visit the page Linda
Troost has put together at

We hope to hear from you.
Thanks,
John Radner
