Genetic Criticism

Two academic events that might be of interest.

• The Centre for Textual Scholarship (CTS) at De Montfort University (Leicester) is organizing a seminar on "Genetic Criticism: Directions and Challenges" (21 January 2009), with Dirk Van Hulle (University of Antwerp) and Finn Fordham (Royal Holloway, University of London).
  
• The Maison Française d'Oxford is hosting a two-day workshop, organized by Paolo d'Iorio, on "Genetic Criticism: Editions, Principles, Practices" (2 and 3 February 2009), with Daniel Ferrer, Almuth Grésillon Nathalie Sarraute and others. The second day will a see a number of hands-on sessions with the manuscripts of Gustave Flaubert, James Joyce, Marcel Proust and some English and French scientific writers (though, since not in the archive, this no doubt will be using facsimiles). There is a flyer for this event; contact me if you would like a copy.
