Please join us in attending the Revenance Conference: Literature, Culture, History, and other Hauntological Forms.

The theme for this MLL symposium in honor of Professor Walter Stephens is Revenance and all other hauntological forms: ghosts, revenants, returnees, demons, specters, phantoms, doppelgangers, demons, invisible vampires, spirits, zombies, and many dead ideas. In connection with the many courses (graduate and undergraduate) being offered this Spring in our department on hauntings/demons/ghost and the Return in literature, we all thought it would be a good pretext to organize a half-day symposium on the subject, with of course the occasion to formally acknowledge our esteemed colleague Walter Stephens who retired last year. He was not invited like the other presenters but was summoned on this occasion to receive a proper farewell.
