St. Edmund Hall is located on Queen's Lane in central Oxford, just off the High Street. A map is available here. You can also use Google maps to plot directions to and from the conference location.
Directions to Door 74 - where the conference dinner is to be held on Thursday evening - are available here, should you wish to make your own way there (a party will be walking there from college after drinks).
Publication Opportunity
There will be a guest-edited edition of Eighteenth-Century Life, publishing the most select of the contributions to our conference. There are a number of points we should like to make concerning this guest-issue. We will have 'right of first refusal' to papers from all participants, who must be ready to prepare scholarly, written, as well as orally-delivered papers. The submission deadline for written articles will be Friday, December 19th, 2008; that is, three months after the conference. The guest-editors retain the right to refuse publication to any possible contribution.
Conference Information
This conference will be held at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, 11th-12th September 2008. These two days will interrogate eighteenth-century letters and their means of circulation, as well as pursuing the theoretical ramifications of that interrogation. In addition, they will provide graduate students with guidance on how they may incorporate letters into their own research, through practical advice (where and how to find them) and practice-based seminar papers (scholars discussing their methodologies).
