News of the first ever CS Lewis conference to be held in France
A call for papers on CS Lewis, His Friends and Associates: Questions of Identity has been issued. An international conference, to be held June 2-3, 2011 at the Lille Catholic University, will be the first of its kind in France. The deadline for proposals is June 5, 2010. You can find more information about the conference here.
The request has been made on Further Up & Further In, a CS Lewis & Inkling Resource blog, who made the following statement:
“Questions of identity are essential to the understanding of any writer. We are therefore seeking for papers which examine gender and family roles, national, regional, racial or professional identities, membership of a particular church, movement or club, ideological or political attachments, descriptions of oneself, either with regard to Lewis and those who knew him or in a study of their writings.
Among Lewis’s friends and associates we would include his brother Warnie, his wife Joy, JRR Tolkien, Charles Williams, Dorothy L. Sayers, T.S. Eliot, Ruth Pitter and Owen Barfield, but would also consider studies of anyone who worked with Lewis or who influenced him.”
