>The editors invite essay proposals for a book-length collection 
>dedicated to the life and works of Richard Brinsley Sheridan 
>(1751-1816).  While Sheridan continues to be viewed as a central 
>figure in theatrical history and as an important contributor to the 
>political traditions of Great Britain, contemporary scholarship 
>lacks a comprehensive look at his long public career and its impact 
>on modern British and Irish culture.
>
>
>
>The editors intend to assemble a volume of scholarship that will 
>feature interdisciplinary analysis of Sheridan as a playwright, 
>theatre manager, politician, Irish nationalist, public speaker and 
>arbiter of taste.  Given the variegated nature of Sheridan's own 
>career, we are particularly interested in papers that position him 
>among and between his various roles, and hope to see submissions 
>from scholars of eighteenth-century and Romantic literature, 
>theatre, opera, political science, history and cultural studies.  We 
>encourage any theoretical methodologies that fruitfully engage the 
>complexities and contradictions that inevitably mark so long an 
>existence in the state we now call "celebrity."
>
>
>
>Submit 500-750 word proposals and a CV as electronic attachments in 
>MS-word to Daniel J. Ennis at [log in to unmask] or Jack DeRochi at 
>[log in to unmask] by March 30, 2008.
