Update for April 2011

Script & Print 35.1 (2011)—an issue dedicated to Teresia Constantia Phillips’s Apology (1748–49)—is now with the printer. It should be delivered to Shef by the end of this week and will be distributed by him shortly afterward.

It appears that we are still only close to having our new website going live. Many members were first delighted, and then disappointed, when news of this website was prematurely reported in our last Broadsheet. So, I won't be reporting it here, or offering any links until it does go live!

An extended call for papers for the BSANZ 2011 Conference "Textual Manipulation" was circulated in March. The conference is at the Barr Smith Library, University of Adelaide, from 3 to 4 November 2011.

The conference website is here (see also here); enquiries and offers for papers can be sent to Cheryl Hoskin (cheryl.hoskin@adelaide.edu.au), who can also be contacted on 08 83035224.

Conference themes include:
• Textual transmission – translation / editing / anthologising / rewriting / parody / plagiarism
