I have moved in & settled. While activities will be limited - baby is imminent - I am now accepting submissions for the next range of Arthur Shilling publications. I will be publishing 6 new booklets in the Autumn featuring (hopefully) woodcut cover art as well as the pocket-sized mini versions.

Due to a couple of requests I will also be making the entire Arthur Shilling back-catalogue available to buy (both as a collection & individually).

yours,

Harry.

The site of the 2011 meeting, sponsored in collaboration with the Institute for English Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London, will be Senate House, Bloomsbury, London.

In addition to four days of papers and panels on Pound and others’ work, special events tentatively planned are for walking tours of Pound’s Kensington and Pound’s Bloomsbury, as well as visits to the Courtauld Gallery and the Tate. Additional plans include a reception in Fleet Street, a reading of contemporary poetry related to Pound, the conference banquet, and a two-day excursion after the meeting (10-11 July) to sites in Sussex and Kent, including possible visits to Stone Cottage, Henry James’s Lamb House, and the homes of Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, Ford Madox Ford, and Virginia Woolf.

The committee invites proposals for papers on any aspect of Pound’s interaction with London, and/or the English cultural tradition in general.

Presentations should be limited to 20 minutes delivery time. Send proposals (250 words) via e-mail or mail to:
