Dear all (as ever, sorry for cross-postings [and for general inbox cloggings from me]); 

See below for a memory jog relating to next summer's Ezra Pound International Conference - it's going to be in London and I'd very much like to get as many non-regulars along as possible, from Britain and from everywhere.  Papers about anything to do with Pound are welcome; though anything to do with Pound and London/Britain then or now would be most gratefully received.

Make sure you get your proposals in to John Gery by the 15th of October!

Please remember that
15 October 2010 is the deadline for Paper Proposals for the 24th Ezra
Pound International Conference, “Ezra Pound and London,” to be held 5-9
July 2011, at Senate House, Institute for English Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London, Bloomsbury, London.

 
The conference Advisory Committee invites proposals for papers on any aspect of Pound’s interaction with

 London, and/or the English cultural tradition in general. Possible considerations are Pound’s early associations, collaborations, and friendships in London; exiled and expatriate writers in London;
 Modernism before, during, and after the Great War; London in Pound’s poetry; Pound and British writers (past and contemporaneous); Pound and the British economy/economists; Pound’s departure and disaffection; literary London during World War II; London’s rejection
 of Pound; Pound’s influence on later British poetry and letters. Proposals may interpret the conference theme in specific or broad terms, relating to Pound’s work
 and life: poetry, prose, translations, textual analysis, biography, comparative studies, literary or political influence, and/or historical matters. Proposals from postgraduate and younger scholars are encouraged.
The committee also welcomes proposed papers on other aspects of
Pound.
 

If you are interested in giving a paper, send a short proposal (approximately 250 words) to the Secretary. Emailed proposals, as well as those sent by surface mail, are
 acceptable. Please include your affiliation, email address, and regular address on your proposal. Presentations should be limited to
20 minutes delivery time. To be sure to receive registration information and details about lodging and excursions, even if you do not wish to submit a proposal, please write to the Secretary:
