    Papers on Language and Literature is now accepting submissions for a special
    issue, "Living with Animals," to be published in late 2002. We are seeking
    essays on literature of any genre that depicts the interaction of human
    characters with pets, domestic animals, or wild animals. Specifically, we are
    looking for articles that analyze human encounters with the non-human.
    Human-animal interactions need not be the central issue in the texts
    considered. In fact, sometimes the interesting question may be why animals
    are brought into texts peripherally.

    The editors of Papers on Language and Literature will not consider pieces
    that treat purely human issues through animal imagery. In other words, work
    on beast fables, allegories using animals, fantastic works involving talking
    animals, or other texts in which anthropomorphized animals are the focus will
    not be considered for this issue.

    Send submissions to:
    PLL Special Issue
    Southern Illinois University
    Edwardsville, IL 62026-1434

    Deadline for Submissions: April 30, 2001
