The Emily Dickinson International Society is soliciting abstracts for presentations at its 2010 international conference to be held in Oxford, England, August 5-8.

The conference theme is "'Were I Britain born': Dickinson’s British Connections." Preference will be given to papers that focus on Dickinson’s transatlantic reading, connections with specific British writers, reception, and transatlantic influences on Dickinson’s thought and writing, but presentations on all related topics are welcome. Please send abstracts of 250 words to Paul Crumbley (paul.crumbley@usu.edu), Jed Deppman (jdeppman@oberlin.edu) or Cristanne Miller (ccmiller@buffalo.edu) by October 15, 2009.
