The intention of the organisers is to establish a comfortable ambience in which a free exchange of ideas and current work on the subject of mythology can occur. Postgraduates and established scholars are equally welcome. The conference venue will be Clifton Hill House, Bristol, a beautiful Georgian home once belonging to John Addington Symonds. Some of the papers will be circulated in advance, so that at the conference itself, after a brief summary, the maximum of time can be devoted to discussion. We are very pleased to announce that the keynote speaker for 1998 will be the distinguished biographer of Frazer, Professor Robert Ackerman of the University of the Arts, Philadelphia.
Concessions are available.
Early booking is advisable as numbers are limited. Anyone who responded to the preliminary call for papers issued in the spring need not reply to this message.
