ROMANTICISM AND SPEECH.

I invite papers exploring the theory and practice of speech, and its
intersection with literature, in the Romantic period, including "the
real language of men," speech genres, speech acts, physiological and
pedagogical aspects of speech (speech defects, pronunciation, elocution,
speech (as) therapy), regional and class inflections (dialect), oratory
and public speaking in theory and practice, and political and social
dimensions of the above. 10-page papers or 500-word proposals by
December 15 to Judith Thompson, Dept. of English, Dalhousie University,
