The Henry Adams Society

ALA 2008: Call for Papers

The Henry Adams Society will sponsor one session at the 2008 American Literature Association Conference. In view of recent book-length studies that consider Adams the historian, this year's theme is history: The History of the United States during the Administrations of Jefferson and Madison, Adams and the problem of historical sequence (especially in the late work), Adams and specific histories--republican government, women, religious symbology, church architecture, science, applied technology, armaments, etc. Please direct inquiries to John Orr at orr@up.edu.

The conference will be held from May 22 to 25 at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco in Embarcadero Center. For more information, visit the American Literature Association website at www.americanliterature.org.

Our thanks to J.C. Levenson, Pierre Lagayette, Leo Marx, John Orr, John Carlos Rowe, Cindy Weinstein, and Conrad Wright for making the two 2007 ALA sessions, "The Education of Henry Adams at 100” and "The Mind and Art of Henry Adams at 50," successful and inspiring occasions.
