If any of you will be in New York City or its environs next weekend, do think about attending the annual conference of the Northeast Victorian Studies Association (http://www.nvsa.org/). The theme is “Victorian Clichés and Orthodoxies,” and the conference will be held at Columbia University, April 13-15, 2012. The keynote panel will feature Nicholas Dames (Columbia U), Yopie Prins (U of Michigan), and James A. Secord (U of Cambridge).
