John Stow (1525-1605): author, editor & reader
30 March - 1 April 2001
Corpus Christi College, Oxford, UK
John Stow, antiquarian, chronicler and a collector of books and
manuscripts, is an undeniably significant figure in the historical and
literary landscape of Elizabethan England. As an editor of Lydgate and
Chaucer, as a chronicler of English history, and as a "surveyor" of London,
he has proved a crucial source for modern literary and historical scholars.
This three-day conference proposes to explore Stow's literary and scholarly
role in early modern England through a variety of perspectives, by bringing
together literary critics and historians.
Papers that address the following themes will be particularly welcome:
Stow and the book trade
Stow as a collector of manuscripts and printed books
Stow as editor
Stow as reader
Stow and literature
Stow as historian
Stow as antiquary
Stow's patrons
Stow's legacy and influence
Proposals of 300 words for papers of 20 minutes in length should reach the
organisers (by post or e-mail) by 30 September 2000.
