Professor Jocelyn Harris and the English Department of the University of Otago warmly welcome you to the Thirteenth David Nichol Smith Seminar website. The conference theme, "Rewriting the Long Eighteenth Century," has been interpreted by a host of scholars whose papers and abstracts are detailed in the Programme. We are especially pleased to have speakers from a broad range of disciplines, including literature, history, art history, philosophy and music.

The other pages of this site detail the events and topics for the seminar, and offer guidance on accommodation and registration procedures. If there is anything else you'd like to know, please feel free to contact Shef Rogers, a member of the organising committee, who will do his best to answer your queries.

We look forward to meeting all those who have graciously offered papers, and all those who come to hear them. We hope this site will answer many of your questions and encourage you to consider joining us.
