1. ENGLISH INSTITUTE PROGRAM September 3-6, 1968 at Columbia University
One of the topics this year is
BLAKE: “VISIONARY FORMS DRAMATIC” (Chairman, David V. Erdman).
Prize money of $200.00 will be awarded by the Institute for the best essays on this or any of the topics. In this topic the focal word is “forms”; essays may consider any aspect or aspects of the form or style of Blake’s illuminated works (counting “Tiriel” as such a work). Slides may be included; yet the pictorial aspect need not be treated.
Essays, which will be judged by members of the Supervising Committee, must be sent before July 1, 1968 to Professor Roy Harvey Pearce, University of California at San Diego, the chairman of the 1968 session. They must be no longer than 6000 words, typed double-spaced, and accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope, or, if submitted from abroad, by the appropriate international postage coupons. If slides are to be used, transparencies or small prints should accompany the typescript.
