================== HES POSTING ==================== [forwarded from H-Net Gilded Age and Progressive Era List <[log in to unmask]> --Paul] CALL FOR ESSAYS On November 1, 1997 a conference in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the death of Henry George was held in New York City. Ten scholars from the fields of economics, sociology, and history presented papers on Henry George, author of _Progress and Poverty_ (1879) and noted reformer. The success of the conference as well as increased scholarly interest in George as a political economist, social critic, and labor party candidate has prompted an effort to publish the papers in a book (not yet under contract), _Henry George: Selected Essays in Commemoration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of His Death_. It is intended to present essays which raise and address new questions regarding George and his legacy. There is room in this book for three and possibly four essays in addition to the ten presented at the conference. Anyone interested in submitting an essay for consideration should send it by December 1, 1998 to: Prof. Edward T. O'Donnell Dept. of History Hunter College, CUNY 695 Park Avenue New York, NY 10021 e-mail: [log in to unmask] tel: 212 772 5540 fax: 212 772 5545 ============ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ============ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
