Subject: hiatus
Dear Colleagues:
The next many days, until the very end of this month, I will be travelling
to and attending the ALLC/ACH conference at the University of Glasgow
<http://www2.arts.gla.ac.uk/allcach2k/>, then walking along the West
Highland Way with mirabile dictu no Internet connection. I know, I could
bring a laptop with a satellite up-link, pause by the side of the trail
from time to time or tap into the local telephone system from B&Bs in
Drymen, Rowardennan, Inverarnan and so forth, and do my duty as editor of
Humanist, but I won't. Instead I'll perhaps come to understand better why
Dougie Maclean sings so passionately about Scotland. High time, too, as I'm
sure my colleagues in that fine country will be muttering as they read this
message.
The University of Virginia will keep your messages safe, so please continue
to send them. I'll be wired while at the ALLC/ACH and attentive to my duties.
See you there, I hope. As Allen Renear once said to me (in a little
restaurant in Providence RI, I think it was), one tends to have more of the
intellectual life among the people who gather for the ALLC/ACH than at any
other professional conference. In 2001 the conference will be at NYU, for
which see <http://www.nyu.edu/its/humanities/ach_allc2001/index.html>. So,
if the width of the Pond is keeping you away this year....
Yours,
WM
