… will take place in Ragusa, Sicily, from 7-9 May 2020, organised by Massimo Sturiale. Great news for all of us who are doing research on Late Modern English letters.

This will be the seventh conference in a row. Earlier ones were held in Edinburgh in 2000 (I believe), in Vigo in 2004, in Leiden in 2007, in Sheffield in 2010, in Bergamo in 2013, and in Uppsala this year (2017).

Thanks to Carol Percy for this very useful link called HEL on the Web.
