I write with a quick reminder that the CFP deadline for the 2006 joint conference of the North American Society for the Study of Romanticism and the North American Victorian Studies Association is coming up in a few days: *Feb. 15*. The conference will occur at Purdue University on Labor Day weekend (Aug. 31-Sept. 3) and headliners will include: Timothy Barringer, Alan Bewell, Ross Chambers, Anna Clark, Julie Codell, Tracy Davis, Mary Favret, Neil Fraistat, Regenia Gagnier, Catherine Gallagher, Elaine Hadley, Andrea Henderson, Sonia Hofkosh, John Kucich, Christopher Lane, Celeste Langan, Thomas Laqueur, Rosemary Lloyd, Deidre Lynch, Ghislaine McDayter, Andrew Miller, Timothy Morton, Daniel O'Quinn, Thomas Pfau, Adela Pinch, Marjorie Stone, and Martin Wiener.

The conference will include such special features as a silent-film festival (with live organ in a restored 20s theater) and a swing band (following the banquet).
