Dear SHARPists,

  Attached is the final call for papers for SHARP's seventh annual
conference in Madison, Wisconsin in July.  With the deadline coming up
in a few weeks (November 19) I'm particularly eager to have your help in
giving this CFP as wide a distribution as possible.  Please forward this
to any colleagues or students that you think might be interested.  Those
of you who wish to post a printed copy on your department bulletin board
can print one from SHARP Web at http://www.indiana.edu/~sharp/sharp99.html

  And, of course, those of us here who have been mulling over proposals of
our own should think about getting something in the mail pretty soon.  As
anyone who has been to a SHARP conference can tell you, SHARP brings
together a stimulating variety of scholars who seldom or never meet
otherwise, with results that are always interesting and fun.  I don't
doubt that the Madison conference will be an exciting one, and I look
forward to seeing many of you there.

Patrick Leary

SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF AUTHORSHIP, READING, AND PUBLISHING

Call for Papers for SHARP '99

JULY 14-17, 1999
MADISON, WISCONSIN

The seventh annual conference of the Society for the History of
Authorship, Reading, and Publishing will take place July 14-17, 1999, in
Madison, Wisconsin, under the auspices of the Center for the History of
Print Culture in Modern America, a joint program of the State Historical
Society of Wisconsin and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

In keeping with SHARP tradition, we welcome proposals from researchers
interested in the creation, diffusion, and/or reception of the written or
printed word in any historical period and in any region of the world.
Because of the multicultural, geographic and chronological focus of the
Center for the History of Print Culture in Modern America, we especially
welcome proposals for papers and sessions that investigate:

        * print culture history in the United States since 1876

        * the role print has played in and among groups historically
          outside dominant cultures

        * traditions of the written word in non-English languages in the
          Western Hemisphere

Keynote addresses will be delivered by Dr. Nicholas Kanellos, Director of
Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project at the University
of Houston, and Dr. Janice Radway of the Literature Department at Duke
University.  Conference proceedings will be in English.  We encourage
submissions from graduate students and members of all scholarly
communities interested in print culture studies.  We welcome proposals for
individual papers, or for complete sessions.  While in Madison conference
attendees will have access to the superb collections of the University of
Wisconsin-Madison General Library System and the State Historical Society
of Wisconsin.

Proposals (one page maximum per paper) should be sent to:
