CALL FOR PAPERS:
 "LAWRENCE AND THE FRONTIERS"

10TH INTERNATIONAL D. H. LAWRENCE CONFERENCE
Santa Fe, New Mexico, June 26-July 1, 2005

D. H. LAWRENCE CONFERENCE IN SANTA FE
The 10th International D. H. Lawrence Conference will be held June
26-July 1 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, hosted by the Lawrence Society of
North America (an ally of the Modern Language Association) and joined
by the Lawrence Societies around the world.  Speakers are being
scheduled from all continents.  While our theme "Lawrence and the
Frontiers" alludes in one sense to Lawrence's interest in the western
United States where we will be meeting, the "frontiers" will be of many
kinds--literary, philosophical, social, geographic.  You may construct
your own topic freely.  If you are interested in proposing a paper or
in attending as a guest, contact VIRGINIA HYDE, Conference Director, at
hydev_at_wsunix.wsu.edu or at Department of English, Washington State
University, Pullman, WA  99164-5020, by April 20.

Among speakers from England will be the Cambridge Lawrence editors
KEITH SAGAR, JOHN WORTHEN, and HELEN BARON, who will be joined by many
other scholars.  TETSUJI KOHNO from Kyoto will show us representations
of some Lawrence art works that we have never seen before. A plenary
panel of women Lawrence scholars will include HELEN, JACQUELINE
GOUIRAND-ROUSSELON (France), SIMONETTA DE FILIPPIS (Italy), ELEANOR
GREEN (USA), MASAKO HIRAI (Japan), and JUNGMAI KIM (Korea).  HUGH
WITEMEYER of the University of New Mexico will host a panel about the
Lawrence Ranch, which was named to the National Register of Historic
Places in 2004. 

Among the conference activities will be a trip to the Lawrence Ranch
near Taos; a lunch at the Mabel Dodge Luhan home and compound where
Lawrence once lived; a showing of Lawrence art works; and opportunities
to visit the Witter Bynner home, Willa Cather and Mary Austin sites,
and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe.  It is of special interest
that the ranch was the location where writers like Aldous Huxley and W.
H. Auden (and of course Lawrence), painters Georgia O'Keeffe and
Dorothy Brett, muralist Trinidad Archuleta, musicians Leonard Bernstein
and Leopold Stokowski, and many others did some of their most creative
work, drawn there by Lawrence and/or Frieda Lawrence. 

Hotel Santa Fe is our headquarters, a 7-minute walk from the downtown
Plaza. It features unique Pueblo architecture and arts, being owned by
the Picuris Pueblo, related linguistically and historically to the Taos
Pueblo that Lawrence knew so well.  (He refers to the Picuris
country--though that's not how he spells it--in his essay "A Little
Moonshine with Lemon.")

The previous International Lawrence Conferences were in Nottingham,
Boston, Shanghai, Ottawa, Taos, Montpellier, Paris, Naples, and Kyoto.
