8 May (Humss 188) Dr Lise Jaillant (University of British Columbia, Canada): Messy Modernism: Looking for Woolf, Eliot, Joyce and others in Publishers' Archives - Abstract: As literary scholars, what kind of archival documents do we consider 'valuable' and worthy of scholarly inquiry? Traditionally, many scholars of modernism have favored the literary manuscripts and the letters of writers preserved in well-catalogued collections, while publisher's archives have been neglected. In particular, the archives of commercial publishers have received little attention. Yet, in the late 1920s and early 1930s, Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot and James Joyce were no longer coterie writers published only by small presses and little magazines. They were courted by large-scale, commercial publishers and started appearing in cheap series of reprints. Drawing on research in the archives of the Oxford University Press and Chatto & Windus, I will argue for the need to engage in extensive work in often-messy publisher's archives to further our understanding of modernism and the market.

7 May (Room 349 (3rd floor)) Geoffrey Little (Concordia University Libraries): Adaptées aux milieux canadiens-français et catholiques: Educating Librarians to be Censors at the Université de Montréal, 1937-61 - The narrative of North American librarians as champions of intellectual freedom and advocates for unrestricted access to books in the twentieth century is challenged by the history of libraries and library education in the Canadian province of Quebec. In 1902 the Catholic archbishop of Montreal described public libraries as more dangerous than smallpox. Until the start of Quebec's Quiet Revolution in 1960, access to libraries and books, particularly novels, books in English, and works by Protestant writers, was severely limited by the Catholic Church, which promoted parish libraries in the place of public libraries and regulated access to existing libraries through pressures exerted in pulpits and through restrictive cataloguing and classification schemes. Quebec's francophone librarians received training on how to be censors at the École de bibliothécaires, or School of Librarianship, at the Université de Montréal, where a course on censorship was a mandatory component of the school's program from its founding in 1937 until 1961. The legacy of this system of library control and censorship has frustrated the development of public libraries in Quebec to the present.
4 Jun (Guard Room at Lambeth Palace) Dunstan Roberts (Trinity Hall, Cambridge): 'Spirituall Garrisons'?: Catholic Books in Protestant Libraries - Whilst it is widely known that some seventeenth-century religious libraries were intended to serve as 'spiritual garrisons', there is much still to be learned about the physical interactions between Protestant readers and the Catholic texts contained in many early modern libraries. This paper will explore a range of evidence from different libraries for the use and reception of Catholic texts by English Protestant readers. - The above meeting will be held in the Guard Room at Lambeth Palace. Intending visitors are asked to send an email in advance to mary.comer@churchofengland.org.
25 Jun A Library Walk is being organized, to be led by Alice Ford-Smith, to commence at 5.30 p.m. at the Foyle Special Collections Library, Kings College, Strand (for a tailored display of material). Fuller details will be available at a later date.

Call for papers: Deadline for paper proposals: 1 June 2013

The 10th conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship will be organised at the École normale supérieure in Paris by the Institut des textes et manuscrits modernes (ITEM, UMR 8132) and the research team 'Textes, histoire et monuments, de l'Antiquitél au Moyen Âge' (THEMAM, UMR 7041 ARSCAN).

Treated either as a deviation to be eliminated or as a creative transformation, variation is central to every form of textual scholarship. It is high time to confront the various conceptions of what constitutes a variation, to see what they have in common and what irreconcilable differences remain - though it would be paradoxical for a conference devoted to variance to aim at absolute uniformity.

ESTS conferences are characterised by a combination of formal plenary sessions and traditional paper presentations in panel sessions with three speakers, followed by lively exchange, dialogue and interaction between speakers and audience in many small groups. There will also be an opportunity for poster presentations of current projects.

We encourage submissions related to any of the following topics:

1. Confronting methods: the use of 'stages of revision' in critique génétique and textual criticism; the questioning of the notion of variant by the genetic approach to modern and contemporary working manuscripts
2. Combining methods: using critique génétique in dealing with ancient and medieval texts? using the philological method in the genetic study of printed editions?
3. Editing variation: scholarly editions in critique génétique and textual criticism
4. Concepts and cases: how to edit avant-textes and texts as processes?
5. Exploring limits: extreme methodologies for extreme variations
6. Digital approaches to the printed text and its manuscripts: rethinking, representing and interpreting variation
7. Philological and genetic approaches to born-digital texts and manuscripts

The conference is organised according to a number of thematic sessions. Submissions are welcome on all topics related to the theme of the conference, regardless of linguistic contexts, time periods, geographic areas or types of documents and texts. This includes interdisciplinary perspectives from all branches of scholarly editing, as long as the focus of the proposals is on the guiding principles and practices of editorial scholarship. Graduate students are encouraged to participate.

Please submit your proposal before 1 June 2013, by email to ests2013paris@gmail.com. You will be notified by 1 July 2013 whether your proposal has been accepted or not.

Proposals for papers
Abstracts in English (500 words maximum) are to be submitted to the organising committee, along with the presenter's name, concise biography, address, telephone, email and institutional affiliation. Speakers will have 20 minutes to deliver their paper, leaving room for a 10-minute discussion.

Proposals for panel sessions
A typical panel should include 3 (exceptionally 4) speakers and one moderator (session chair). Each session lasts for 1 hour and a half, always allowing 30 minutes for questions and discussion. Proposers should submit the following elements:
1. Session title and introduction (approximately 100 words)
2. Titles of the papers
3. Abstracts for each paper (500 words maximum)
4. A short biography for each participant and for the panel chair (approximately 100 words)
5. Institutional affiliation and address for each participant
6. Audio-visual and other technical requirements

Proposals for poster presentations
There will be a poster gallery. A poster should be a visual representation and/or a demo of your material. The aim is to present information and initiate informal discussion among delegates. Posters should not exceed 80 cm x 120 cm. If you provide a photograph of yourself and a mobile phone number, other attendees will be able to get in touch with you. Please submit a one-page proposal with an overview of the poster and your contact details.

Participation and registration
Participants who contribute to the conference through a paper, a panel or a poster session need to pay the conference fee and have to be members in good standing of the European Society for Textual Scholarship for 2013 (except invited speakers). More information about registration and possibilities of accommodation will be published soon on a conference website. For more information about the ESTS, please see http://www.textualscholarship.eu/. Your current membership status is indicated at http://ests.huygensinstituut.nl/.

The study of print culture or book history is an interdisciplinary challenge that has been met in different ways across the globe. The subject has been burgeoning in the Anglophone academic world for nearly two decades now, and 2013 marks the 21st anniversary of the first annual meeting of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing (SHARP). While the German tradition in the study of the book was established many decades before, it seems to us that scholars from German-speaking countries are rather thinly represented internationally. We want to change this!

Please register by April 26 via email: bookhistorynetwork@anglistik.uni-freiburg.de. The registration fee is €20 (€10 for SHARP members). This includes coffee breaks. Please let us know whether you will join us for dinner so we can make reservations.

Although the past twenty years have seen a rapid growth in scholarship on early modern English manuscripts, the study of handwriting in the period still seems to be in its infancy. Methods of describing, distinguishing and identifying hands differ from scholar to scholar and, although the work of individual early modernists is often based on very substantial unarticulated 'tacit knowledge' about the dating and differentiation of script styles, little detailed work on the topic has been published. Most of the scholarship in the area focuses, in an ad hoc way, on high-status manuscripts and on the identification of hands associated with major figures. This one-day workshop will explore the potential for future collaboration on more comprehensive and systematic ways of understanding the variation between different hands in the period, and specifically the possibilities for a new project which will aim to produce substantial publicly-available material mapping key elements in the development of English handwriting between 1500 and 1700. Speakers and chairs will include: Carlo M. Bajetta (Aosta), Peter Beal (Institute of English Studies, London), Giles Bergel (Oxford), Colin Burrow (Oxford) Guillaume Coatalen (Cergy-Pontoise), Julia Craig-McFeely (Oxford), Tom Davis (Birmingham), Jonathan Gibson (Open University), Gabriel Heaton (Sotheby's), Simon Horobin (Oxford), Steven W. May (Sheffield), William Poole (Oxford), Daniel Wakelin (Oxford), Heather Wolfe (Folger Shakespeare Library), Henry Woudhuysen (Oxford).

It is organized by the Centre for Early Modern Studies and Merton College History of the Book Group, with the co-operation of the Bodleian Library Centre for the Study of the Book.

The workshop has been timed so that delegates can also attend one of Professor Richard Beadle's Lyell Lectures, 'Medieval English Literary Autographs 1: Fugitive Pieces', in the same venue at 5pm.

Registration (£20, graduates £15, including light lunch) through a link on the CEMS home page, http://www.cems-oxford.org/ and a timetable and fuller details will be provided there shortly. For queries please contact Dr Jonathan Gibson, Jonathan.Gibson@open.ac.uk. Please register by Thursday 18 April.

Tim Munby pioneered the historical study of British book collecting and the use of sale catalogues to trace the history of taste in books. His work brought sale catalogues into the academic domain as important literary and historical documents worthy of study. Munby's five-volume Phillipps Studies provided the first comprehensive account of bibliophiles and book dealers of the nineteenth century. His other works include The Cult of the Autograph Letter in England, Connoisseurs and Medieval Miniatures, 1750-1850 and a book of ghost stories, The Alabaster Hand.

Munby was Fellow and Librarian of King's College, Cambridge, from 1947 to 1974, having worked previously in the antiquarian book trade. He was Lyell Reader in Bibliography at Oxford 1962-63, a Founding Trustee of the British Library, President of the Bibliographical Society and co-founder of the Cambridge Bibliographical Society. His scholarship, kindness and sense of fun won him many admirers.

King's College will hold a conference on 28-29 June 2013 to mark the centenary of Munby's birth. The theme, 'Floreat Bibliomania - Great Collectors and their Grand Designs' will provide an opportunity to map current and future developments in the study of collectors and collecting.

Principal speakers include Nicolas Barker, Penelope Bulloch, Christopher de Hamel, Anthony Edwards, Anthony Hobson, Peter Jones, David McKitterick, David Pearson, and Toshiyuki Takamiya. Reflecting Munby's generosity to students, the event will also feature panels of young bibliographers and book collectors. Delegates will have the chance to visit private exhibits in the Founder's Library of the Fitzwilliam Museum and in the King's College Library, as well as a special Munby exhibit at the Cambridge University Library.

A celebratory reception and dinner will take place on the first evening of the conference.
