Hi folks

David Atkinson has asked me to send on the following announcement and call for papers for a conference to be held in Germany next year. The outline is as follows:

Celebrating Scot(t)s Voices

An International Conference in Honour of

Mrs Brown of Falkland (1747-1810)

This international conference will take place at the old Castle of Schönburg near the enchanted rock of

the Loreley in the Rhine valley. It is to mark the bicentenary of the death of Anna Gordon, Mrs Brown of

Falkland, in 1810 and the publication of her ballad repertoire in 2010. Her ballads were edited by “Monk”

Lewis in his Tales of Wonder (1801), Walter Scott in his Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border (1802-03) and

Robert Jamieson in his Popular Ballads (1806). She is only one of the many women at the end of the

eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century who were, until now, not heard in their own

voices. We would therefore like to invite papers that recover Scottish voices from that period in general

and voices lost in Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border in particular. The main themes of the

conference will be Mrs Brown of Falkland and Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border, and papers are

welcome that deal with . . .

Scottish culture and identity around 1800

Ballad Singing, Collecting, Editing around 1800

German and Danish Translations of Scott’s Minstrelsy

Scottish voices from America, Denmark, Latvia ...

Medievalism in the Romantic period

Gothic ballads / novels (esp. Mrs Brown and Monk Lewis)

Historical ballads / novels (esp. Walter Scott)

Cultural Memory of the Scottish Border

Women and Music in Scotland around 1800

. . . and other papers that have a clear connection to the two themes of the conference.

Please send an abstract of no more than 300 words to the organizer by 31 January 2010.

The Conference will take place 9 - 12 September 2010 and is organised by the Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz. The contact is Dr. Sigrid Rieuwerts

(Scotland@...)

Sounds like fun! I have attached the attractive conference flyer for you to print out - though if you are reading this in Tradsong rather than a direct mailing you won't of course, be able to see it.

Regards

Martin
