-->CANCELLED 1/4/2000: SDSU Press is commissioning a collection of
essays on Michael Curtiz's The Charge of the Light Brigade for publication
in 2001. It is particularly interested in dynamic essays that highlight
connections between the world of Hollywood (Curtiz; Warner Brothers etc.),
the world of literature (Tennyson, British Literature and Empire), and/or
the world at large (in particular, we are interested in post-colonial and
new historicist treatments of this Hollywood classic). Brief biographical
essays on Curtiz and Tennyson with particular focus on their interest in
the UK and India are also solicited. A note from an homage to the film
written by George A. Lazarou to be included in the volume reads as follows:
"The Charge of the Light Brigade (1936), as produced by Warner Brothers, is
a saga of British rule and heroics in India in the 1850's, with a climax
depicting an actual event of the Crimean War immortalized in Alfred, Lord
Tennyson's epic poem--the British cavalry attack on Russian positions at
the battle of Balaklava." More information on the film is available at
