Our very own Editor-in-Chief, Karen Mulhallen, will be holding a symposium this month celebrating the future of Blake studies and the legacy of G.E Bentley Jr. The sessions will be held at the Victoria University in the University of Toronto, whose library houses the Northrop Frye papers and the G.E. Bentley Jr. collection of nearly three thousand works by and about William Blake and his contemporaries.
G.E. Bentley Jr. is a noted literary scholar, and his legacy revolves around the specialization in the career and works of William Blake. The sessions will feature short illustrated papers and panel presentations and the proceedings of the symposium will be published in a special Blake issue of the University of Toronto Quarterly in 2012.
There is no charge for the symposium but registration is required. For registration and information, click here.
