An Examination of Literature, Language, and the Profession. With the dawn of a new millennium, comes the promise of a new age one sculpted by the past and present. The Twenty-ninth Annual CEA Conference will raise old and new issues, explore questions, and offer solutions through the examination and interpretation of our literature, our language, and our profession. These shared discoveries will, hopefully, help us shape the approaching age. Presenters must register for the conference.
Presenters are limited to one accepted paper.
All submissions must be original and unpublished. Presenters and other members are invited and urged to volunteer to serve as chairs and respondents for sessions. For an outstanding paper presented by a graduate student, the CEA will award a prize of fifty dollars. Eligible papers must be postmarked by November 15, 1997. Edith Wharton s A Backward Glance affirms her creative life and the literary tradition that informed it.
