The letter from the Nineteenth Century Studies Association that Jeffrey posted earlier (http://www.english.uwosh.edu/roth/ncsa/president-message.htm) shows that the team in Arizona there "very generously agreed to work alongside" the convenors of their relocated conference in Albuquerque; it's nice to see at least some of the Arizona medievalists being public about this! --Lawrence WarnerLanglandinSydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076779340305316211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21165575.post-71871257091828980212010-08-11T15:49:29.116-04:002010-08-11T15:49:29.116-04:00Great letter, Monica, Richard, and Ros.
