Symposium further details

Hi folks, I will post the three abstracts of Symposium papers on the list next week. I'm still waiting for Peter Wright's proposal, although I do have an idea of what he'll be doing (its on Fifth Head and post- colonialism). As for publishing them - there is obviously a place for them in the Winter edition of Ultan's Library, depending on any contributions we receive from other writers, but I'm exploring avenues for publishing the papers as a small book. Obviously the latter course is more exciting! I do hope that we can muster enough support for a substantial second edition of the journal. I'm thinking about including a short 'Notes & Queries' section, in which specific points (possibly explored on Urth/Whorl) can be discussed. Nigel has also suggested that a full commentary on the Book of the New Sun would be a desirable project (and a long one!) which could perhaps evolve as a feature of the journal. Any thoughts, anyone?
