[Milton-L] Second Call for Papers: SASMARS 2910

[Judith Herz]

Dear Professor Viljoen
I've been working for the past few years on what I've called "the voice print of John Donne."  I've published two articles on this subject (Criticism: 43:1, 2001 and John Donne Journal: 26, 2007) and next spring I'll be  teaching a graduate course that I'm calling Post Donne.
I've been continuing this project, but I won't have a more specific proposal until spring 2010.  Nonetheless, I hope that on the basis of the work already done, you will be able to accept my offer of a paper for your conference.
Sincerely,
Judith Scherer Herz
