REFORMATION, REVOLUTION, RESTORATION: The Texts and Contexts of
Bunyan's England

Third Triennial Conference of the International John Bunyan Society
Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, USA, October 10-14, 2001

Keynote Speakers:
Sharon Achinstein, University of Maryland
Margaret Ezell, Texas A and M
Richard Greaves, Florida State University
Thomas Luxon, Dartmouth College
Nigel Smith, Princeton University

Reformation, Revolution, and Restoration are three contexts in which to situate the discourse of late seventeenth-century England. How these contexts shape the ideas and textual practices of religion, culture, and politics will provide the themes of our conference.

Early modern scholars from all disciplines are welcome to contribute and to participate. In addition to work on Bunyan and his contemporaries, we welcome and encourage proposals focusing on gender, race, theoretical approaches, postmodern and cultural studies, and the global impact of Puritanism.
