Call for Proposals (Special Journal Issue): George GASCOIGNE

With the increased interest in George Gascoigne demonstrated in recent years and with the approach of the 430th anniversary of his death, now seems an opportune moment to gather new essays that focus on the poet's life and work.

To that end, Early Modern Literary Studies (EMLS) is publishing a special issue on George Gascoigne and invites essay submissions that address his life, work, or influence.

Proposals will be accepted until 21 November 2006, and final articles will be due 15 February 2007. Essays should be between 6,000 and 10,000 words in length, should not be submitted elsewhere, and should not have been previously published. The special issue of EMLS on Gascoigne will be published in either spring or fall 2007.

Please submit proposals to Dr. Stephen Hamrick, hamrick@mnstate.edu. Early Modern Literary Studies (ISSN 1201-2459) is a refereed journal serving as a formal arena for scholarly discussion and as an academic resource for researchers in the area.  http://www.shu.ac.uk/emls
