<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2005 will be the anniversary of the death of Sir
Henry Irving. To mark the occasion Richard Foulkes, Professor of Theatre History
at the University of Leicester, is planning a conference to be held in July
2005. Expressions of interest and offers of papers are invited. Although the
primary focus will be on the life, career, and cultural significance of Henry
Irving, papers on other members of his family (H.B. and Laurence) and close
associates (Ellen Terry, Bram Stoker et al) will also be welcome. Please
contact: Professor Richard Foulkes, Department of English,</FONT></DIV>

Afghanistan whose family has died in a bombing raid, a villager who has probably
never heard of the World Trade Centre, the distinctions between what the US
forces are doing and what was done on 11 September [2001] will be
academic."--Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, in Writing in the
Dust.</FONT></DIV>
