July 30–4 August 4, 2007. "Anglo-Saxon Traces: 'Her mon m?g giet gesion hiora swæð,'" meeting of the International Society of Anglo-Saxonists, in London. There are many reminders of Anglo-Saxon England, in London streets, libraries, and museums. The conference will center on remembering and celebrating England's Anglo-Saxon past. Above all, the conference will focus on the Anglo-Saxon understanding of the physical environment as reflected in its settlements, buildings and artefacts, its books and manuscripts, its luxury and everyday objects. The proposed strands will address wealth and status; sense of place; buildings (their uses and their relationship to the material remains of the pre-Anglo-Saxon past); rural and urban settlement and trade; writing and manuscripts; liturgy and worship. The organizers plan a fully interdisciplinary conference with a strong evidential focus and particularly hope for contributions with this approach from literary and linguistic specialists, historians, art historians, numismatists, archaeologists, and liturgists, seeking to examine common (and not so common) ground. Call for papers: prospective participants must be members to submit abstracts. For details on how to become a member, see http://www.isas.us, or contact David F. Johnson, Executive Director of ISAS at ( djohnson@english.fsu.edu ). The deadline is October 5, 2006, with late submissions accepted until October 31. Abstracts (500 words) should be submitted electronically at http://link.library.utoronto.ca/isas/conference/. Contact Jane Roberts ( jane.roberts@kcl.ac.uk ).
