NeMLA 2012 Conference: Christopher Marlowe in Performance

This panel will ask what can be learned from approaching Christopher Marlowe as a primarily dramatic writer. Papers will be asked to think about plays from a theatrical standpoint, examining the force of performance as a shaping factor in the reception of Marlowe’s plays. We encourage studies of the stage history of Marlowe’s works; additionally, plays that consider the texts within the context of Elizabethan stage history are also welcome. Please send abstracts of 250 words to Louise Geddes at LGeddes@adelphi.edu

The 43rd convention of the Northeast Modern Language Association will be held in Rochester, New York March 15 - 18, 2012. Our host institution this year is St. John Fisher College, and the convention will be held at the Hyatt Regency Rochester. The call for papers (CFP) is now available online and will appear in NeMLA’s summer newsletter by early June; abstracts are due to session chairs by 30 September 2011 unless otherwise noted in the CFP.
