International Conference and Commemoration of the Bicentenary of the Death of Erasmus Darwin

For those who presented papers, negotiations with Ashgate Publishing Ltd about publishing the proceedings of the conference are going well - they have agreed to issue a contract for our book, The Genius of Erasmus Darwin, which is planned to be included in David Knight and Trevor Levere's series "Science, Technology and Culture, 1700-1945". The editors, Dr Smith and Mr Arnott, will contact you again shortly asking for expanded versions of your paper (5,000-6,000 words).
