CFP: Rosicrucian Influence in Early Modern Literature (4/15/03; SAMLA, 11/14/03-11/16/03)

Panel for SAMLA 2003 Conference
Title: Rosicrucian Influence in Early Modern Literature

According to extent documents, the Rosicrucian brotherhood was founded in
1408 by a German nobleman, Christian Rosenkreuz, a former monk who had
been initiated into Arabian learning and magic. With increasing
popularity in the Renaisance, Francis Bacon was allegedly associated with
the secret society, as was Elizabeth favorite John Dee; the Freemasons are
additionally supposed to have been an offshoot of the Rosicrucians.
Abstracts are sought that seek to draw connections between the Rosicrucian
order and early modern texts.

Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words by April 15 to:
