Newcastle University

This two-day conference, sponsored by the Faculty of English and St John’s College, Cambridge, centres on the theme of Thomas Nashe and voice. Papers might consider orality and performance; typographic representation of dialogue; gesture and non-verbal speech; heteroglossia and genre hybridity; point of view, narrative perspective, and focalization; style, parody, and mimicry; and Nashe’s use of multiple authorial personae and narratorial surrogates. The conference will feature keynote addresses by Emma Smith (University of Oxford), Cathy Shrank (University of Sheffield), and H.R. Woudhuysen (University of Oxford); a staged reading of Pierce Penniless performed by the Beyond Shakespeare company; and a conference dinner at St John’s College, Nashe’s alma mater.
